Crispy Buffalo Wings

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs chicken wings (fresh or thawed)

• 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for crisping)

• 1 cup buffalo sauce (Frank’s RedHot is a favorite, but use any you like)

• 4 tbsp unsalted butter

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp paprika

• Salt and pepper to taste

For the dipping sauce (optional):

• 1/2 cup ranch dressing (or blue cheese dressing if you prefer)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Wings:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

   • Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This is key for crispy skin.

   • Toss the wings in a little vegetable oil, salt, and pepper, then arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet. You can use a rack to help air circulate for extra crispiness.

2. Bake the Wings:

   • Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping them halfway through until the wings are golden brown and crispy.

3. Buffalo Sauce:

   • While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir to combine and simmer for about 2–3 minutes.

4. Toss Wings in Sauce:

   • Once the wings are cooked and crispy, remove them from the oven and toss them in the buffalo sauce until they’re evenly coated.

5. Serve:

   • Serve immediately with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing, and maybe some celery or carrot sticks if you’re feeling extra.

💡 Pro Tip: If you want them extra crispy, you can broil them for 1–2 minutes at the end after tossing them in the sauce, just to get that caramelized, crispy coating.
