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.
  • Dip the crispy baked chicken wings into blue cheese dressing to offset the heat from the spicy cayenne pepper in the buffalo sauce
  • Or try one of our homemade ranch dressingsSpicy Ranch or Greek Yogurt Ranch Dressing
  • Serve with carrot sticks and celery sticks for that classic pub feel.
  • 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.

    Aww Sharon, cannot belive you don’t like eating food using bare hands!! I think eating something by hand is like contemplating food in a complete way. I mean we will understand something better by our bare touches such as like we are cooking, touching ingredients makes us feel better and desired to cook a great dish. It is as same as when we eating something with sauces and flavors like baked chicken wings, hmmm, the best way to enjoy is using your hand!!! Well, it’s my point of view xD Anyways, wish you and your family a Merry Christmas ❤

    1. Don’t get me wrong, I just don’t like sticky things like these wings. I also don’t like chewing bones. Creepy! But I’ll scoop up a handful of roasted almonds with my bare hands and toss ’em right in my gaping mouth!! Lol! Thanks Natalie!! Merry Christmas to you also. xoxo
