Buffalo wings are usually a deep-fried indulgence, but you don’t need a fryer to get that same irresistible flavor at home. Baking the wings in a hot oven gives you crispy skin and juicy meat without the extra oil. Tossed in a tangy, spicy buffalo sauce, these wings are perfect for game day, parties, or just when you’re craving something bold and flavorful.

Helpful Tips

Pat the wings dry: Use paper towels to remove excess moisture from the wings before baking. This step is essential for achieving a crispy skin in the oven.
Use a wire rack: Place the wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow air to circulate underneath. This helps them cook evenly and get extra crispy.
Toss in sauce after baking: For the perfect texture, bake the wings until crispy, then toss them in warm buffalo sauce right before serving to keep them from getting soggy.
