Make sure to use Buffalo wing sauce, rather than hot sauce in this recipe. The wing sauce has a buttery flavor and is milder than many hot sauces.

Blue cheese dressing is a traditional dip for Buffalo wings, which is why we use blue cheese as a garnish for this dish. It can be a strong flavor, though, so if you don’t know your diner’s preference, consider serving it on the side.

Quick to prepare, our best Buffalo wings recipe has not one, but three layers of flavor! First up on the flavor train—a quick brine of your favorite beer, brown sugar and salt infuses the chicken wings with a ton of flavor. Next up, onion and garlic powder as well paprika coat the wings with savory spice. And last but not least, melted butter swirled with hot sauce are poured over the seasoned wings, adding more spicy-rich flavor that also helps these baked chicken wings a lightly crispy texture when baked. No big pots of hot, messy oil to deal with or all the calories deep frying adds. Maybe now you can eat even more wings than you thought you could?
 If you like them super spicy, serve them with additional hot sauce on the side. Bowls of either blue cheese or ranch dressing alongside are a match made in heaven to tame the spice. Celery sticks not only add a lot of crunch and color, they also can help tame your tongue between each hot and spicy, lip-smacking bite of these Buffalo chicken wings.

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Wings

If you are having an appetizer party, plan on having 4 or 5 options for your guests to choose from. For the most appealing spread, strive for a variety of snacks that range from spicy to mild, different colors and textures and served at different temperatures (room temperature to hot or even cold)! Not only will the assortment be fun to eat, but it can take the pressure off hosting as well (you won’t have to have everything that needs to come out of the oven at the same time).
 Choose a recipe or two that can be made ahead. You can’t go wrong with <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/classic-deviled-eggs/bdd332d8-9da9-42e9-86d9-69fc5cdb936a">Deviled Eggs</a>.

What is the Best Buffalo Wing Dipping Sauce?

We make our fresh buffalo wing sauce recipe from ingredients you already have in your kitchen. But instead of them all being in a liquid form (which could make your crispy Buffalo wings soggy), we cleverly add Buffalo wing sauce ingredients in the form of a brine and dry and wet coatings to boost the flavor of the chicken wings without all the sauce.
 Red Pepper Sauce: adds heat and their signature red color, red pepper sauce is the spicy ingredient that can be increased or decreased, to make the Buffalo chicken wings as hot as you like them.
 Seasonings: Onion, garlic add a savory factor that balances the red pepper sauce. They give a depth of flavor to the wings.
 Beer: In our signature recipe, it adds zing and an intriguing flavor to Buffalo wings, enhancing all other ingredients.
 Butter: The rich flavor of butter and the fat it contains helps balance the piquancy and spiciness of the other ingredients. It also helps to lightly crisp the chicken wings without the added fat and fuss of deep-fat frying.

Buffalo Wing Sauce Ingredients

Reheating Chicken Wings: For chicken wings that have crispy edges and are moist to eat, it is best to enjoy chicken wings right after baking. If you do find yourself with leftover wings, see the Storage Tips below. How you reheat your wings will depend on how many you are reheating at a time and whether you are reheating them in the microwave, oven, or air-fryer. Regardless of the appliance you use, it’s important to make sure that they reach 165°F to be safe to eat. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature in the thickest part of several pieces (without touching the bone).

 Storing Chicken Wings: For the best chicken wings texture and moistness, it’s best to cook and serve the chicken wings on the same day. Chicken wings that have been stored and reheated will be softer and less moist than freshly cooked wings. If you do find yourself with leftover wings, be sure to store them only if they have not been out at room temperature longer than 2 hours. If they have been out longer than 2 hours, it’s best to throw them out, rather than risk any food borne illness. Cooked and cooled chicken wings can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days or wrapped tightly and frozen for no longer than 9 months.

How to Reheat & Store Chicken Wings

Buffalo chicken wings can be made in so many ways! You can vary the spiciness; change the way the sauce is added to the wings, change the coating or sauces you dip them into, change the flavor completely or even cook the wings using different methods. Whatever suits your mood, wings can satisfy.

What are variations to this Buffalo chicken wing recipe?

Yes, you can use either fresh or frozen chicken wing sections for this baked chicken wings recipe. Keeping frozen wings on hand is a terrific way to be able to make chicken wings whenever the craving strikes!
 Using Frozen Chicken Wings: Thaw frozen wings completely overnight in the refrigerator (no ice crystals remaining) before cooking them. If they are at all still frozen, ingredients cannot stick to the frozen chicken and will slide right off (and you lose all that fabulous Buffalo flavor), and the wings will be less crispy.
 Wing Sections or Whole Wings: We call for chicken wing sections—which means you can use either drummies, the flat (paddle) pieces or both! You can also use whole chicken wings; however, they are more difficult to coat and eat. 2 pounds of chicken wing sections is about 8 whole chicken wings or 16 wing sections. If your store does not carry the chicken wing sections, see below for helpful tips on how to cut whole wings into sections.

Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?

For this baked Buffalo wings recipe, Cook the wings at 350°F, so that they have enough time to cook through without the Buffalo seasonings burning. Be sure to spread out the wings, so they get a chance to get those delicious crispier edges.
 Always make sure to cook chicken wings all the way through, to kill any lurking bacteria that can lead to food borne illness. Start by baking them for the minimum time. Using an instant-read meat thermometer, check if the temperature of the thickest parts has reached 165°F. Or, cut a few pieces through to the bone, and see if the juice runs clear. If either of these doneness tests hasn’t been achieved, add a few additional minutes and test again.
Can you Air Fry Chicken Wings? We love these chicken wings in the oven, as you can make them all in one batch and get to enjoying them faster! If you made these in the air fryer, you would have to do them in batches, which can leave the first batch getting cold while you make the next one, or you must keep working on the batches while trying to entertain your guests. We do have some other scrumptious chicken recipes that can be made in the air fryer. Check out this flavorful <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/air-fryer-southern-fried-chicken/2b8b73f1-9648-4818-9e8b-f8cb9b734e02">Southern-Fried Chicken</a> recipe or our very moist and yummy recipe for <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/air-fryer-chicken-thighs/626ef2d5-c374-40d0-a3a8-f8d778b182f8">Air-Fryer Chicken Thighs</a>.

How long to Cook Buffalo Chicken Wings in the Oven?

Spreading out the wings on the cookie sheet will help expose all the areas of the chicken wings to the heat, so that you will get crispier parts on the wing pieces. For the crispiest chicken wings, you’d need to deep-fat fry them. You can have crispier chicken wings by using a oven-fried recipe that contains a coating for the chicken at a higher temperature. Try our <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/hot-and-spicy-chicken-wings/a0cab733-4c5f-4718-adcd-aff74514ffb0">Hot and Spicy Chicken Wings</a>, for a crispier crust, more reminiscent of deep-fried wings.

How to make Baked Buffalo Wings Extra Crispy?

Chicken wings can come in packages of whole wings (where the drummies, flat pieces (paddles) and tips are connected) or come in packages with just drummies or both drummies and paddles. If you buy them whole and wish to separate the pieces (it really helps for eating the wings), use these <a href="https://www.bettycrocker.com/how-to/tipslibrary/cooking-tips/how-to-cut-up-chicken-wings">easy-to-follow cutting directions</a>.
 Chicken wings can be found either fresh or frozen. Either will work for this recipe, however, if they are frozen, be sure to completely thaw them first as directed in Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe section above. Keeping a bag of frozen wings on hand in your freezer means you can make them any time you get the craving, with the simple pantry ingredients you have in your cupboard.
