Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 2 lbs (907 g) chicken wings
Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) paprika
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) onion powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) salt
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) cayenne pepper (optional)
Oils and Sauces:
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
- 1 cup (240 ml) buffalo sauce (or your favorite wing sauce)
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and heat the oven to 400F (200C) for optimal wing roasting.
- Combine chicken wings with olive oil and a blend of spices, ensuring thorough and even coating through vigorous mixing.
- Spread wings in a single layer on the prepared sheet, avoiding overcrowding to promote crispy exterior.
- Roast wings for 40-45 minutes, rotating the pan midway to guarantee uniform cooking and golden-brown crispiness.
- Remove wings from oven and immediately toss in buffalo sauce, coating each piece generously for maximum flavor infusion.
- Transfer sauced wings to a serving platter, allowing excess sauce to glaze the crispy exterior.
Notes
- Customize heat levels by adjusting cayenne pepper and buffalo sauce intensity, allowing personalized spice preferences.
- Ensure even cooking by rotating baking sheet midway and using a meat thermometer to check internal wing temperature reaches 165°F for food safety.
- Create crispy texture by patting wings dry before seasoning and avoiding overcrowding on baking sheet, which prevents proper air circulation and steaming.
- Transform recipe into gluten-free version by using certified gluten-free hot sauce and checking seasoning blend ingredients for potential wheat contamination.
