Make the Buffalo Sauce
Toss and Serve
For baked Buffalo wings, toss the seasoned wings with 1 tbsp of baking powder and 1 tbsp of oil. Bake on a wire rack at 400°F (200°C) for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy. Then toss with the sauce.
Pat wings dry and season. Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 380°F (195°C) for 25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Increase temperature to 400°F (200°C) for the last 5 minutes for extra crispiness. Toss with sauce.
Use this same wing-frying method with other sauces. Try a classic BBQ sauce, a sweet and spicy honey-sriracha glaze, or a garlic-parmesan butter sauce.
Chicken wings are a great source of high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle repair, growth, and overall body function. Protein also contributes to a feeling of fullness.
The hot sauce contains capsaicin, the compound that gives chili peppers their heat. Some studies suggest that capsaicin can provide a temporary boost to metabolism and may aid in fat burning.
A serving of 6 fried Buffalo wings has approximately 1050 calories. This does not include the blue cheese dressing, which can add another 100-150 calories per tablespoon.
Buffalo wings are generally considered an indulgence. They are high in calories, saturated fat, and sodium due to the deep-frying process and butter-based sauce. However, they are also a good source of protein. For a healthier version, consider baking or air-frying the wings.
The original and most classic choice is Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce. Its specific balance of flavor and heat is what defines the traditional Buffalo wing taste.
Yes, you can fry the wings ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. To reheat, bake them on a wire rack at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes until hot and crispy again. Prepare the sauce fresh and toss just before serving.
The key is removing as much moisture as possible. Pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels. For best results, let them air-dry on a rack in the fridge for a few hours. Frying them in oil at the correct temperature (375°F / 190°C) is also crucial.
The vinegar adds a sharp, tangy flavor that cuts through the richness of the butter and complements the heat of the hot sauce, creating the signature balanced taste of Buffalo sauce.
