  • Serves:  6
  • Prep Time:  10 min
  • Cook Time:  45 min

Ingredients

Chicken Wings

  • 1 Tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 4 lbs chicken wingettes or drumettes
  • 2 egg whites, beaten until frothy

Buffalo Sauce

  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s Red Hot or Louisiana Wing Sauce)
  • 4 Tbsp salted butter
  • 1 tsp honey
  • blue cheese dressing
  • celery sticks, for serving

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.

  2. In a large bowl, mix together the salt, garlic powder and paprika. Toss the chicken wings with the seasonings until they’re fully coated. Pour the frothy egg whites over the seasoned chicken pieces and toss until each wing is fully coated.

  3. Prepare a large rimmed baking sheet by lining it with foil. Set a metal cooling rack on top of the lined baking sheet. Arrange the chicken wings, skin side up, on the cooling rack.

  4. Reduce the oven temperature to 425°F. Bake the wings for 45-50 minutes, until the chicken wings are a deep golden-brown color and the skin is nice and crispy.

  5. While the chicken wings are baking, make the homemade Buffalo wing sauce: In a small saucepan over medium high heat, whisk together the hot sauce and the honey. Bring to a simmer before stirring in the butter. Cook until the butter has melted. Remove the sauce from the heat.

  6. Transfer the baked chicken wings to a bowl. Pour in the Buffalo sauce and gently toss the baked wings in the sauce until they are fully coated.

  7. Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side.
