I like to buy our wings at the meat market counter so we can get all wingettes vs drummettes. What is your favorite? Flats or drumsticks?

Instructions for this recipe

Start by preheating the oven and lining the baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Next, add the flour, salt, and pepper to a large Ziploc bag.

Then, pat the wings dry using paper towels and place each wing into the Ziploc bag with the flour mixture.

Shake the bag well.

Ensure every wing gets coated with flour and spices mixture.

Add a tablespoon of olive oil. This is why I love to bake wings. Wings in the oven have so much less saturated fat and grease than frying! You will not miss it. Trust me!

These wings are still crispy and delicious.

Line the wings up on the baking sheet then pop them into the oven.

Flip them over at the halfway point.

Meanwhile, make the homemade Buffalo sauce.

Add the Franks Red Hot Sauce to a medium saucepan along with butter, sugar, onion powder, and coconut aminos.

Heat over medium-low for five minutes, stirring the melted butter into the sauce.

Once the wings have finished baking, place them into the saucepan with the hot sauce.

Stir them well to coat.

We like doing it right in the pot to save doing more dishes. 😉

You could also toss them in a large bowl.

FAQs, Tips, and Substitutions

Why do you pat chicken dry? It helps to draw out moisture which ensures you have crispy oven-baked chicken wings.
How much protein in chicken wings? It depends on size but approximately 7 grams per wing, which is a decent amount. They are also low in carbohydrates.
Substitute garlic powder instead of onion powder for a different flavor.
For gluten-free options use brown rice flour or gluten free all-purpose flour.
