Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and remove from heat, allowing the sauce to sit and thicken slightly.
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Place the chicken wings on the baking sheet and drizzle with vegetable oil. Season with salt and black pepper, tossing to coat the wings evenly.
- Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are crispy and cooked through.
- Remove the wings from the oven and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Serve the spicy buffalo wings hot, accompanied by blue cheese dressing and fresh celery sticks on the side.
Tips
- For extra crispy wings, consider broiling them for the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit your spice preference.
- You can also marinate the chicken wings in the spice blend and hot sauce for a few hours before baking for enhanced flavor.
