Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat 2 pounds chicken wings dry with paper towels. Season evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper.
- Place the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping the wings once halfway through (about 20–22 minutes), until they are golden and crispy.
- While the wings bake, melt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in ½ cup buffalo wing sauce until the mixture is fully combined and warmed through, then remove from heat.
- When the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl, pour the buffalo butter sauce over them, and toss with tongs or a spoon until evenly coated.
- Serve the wings immediately and enjoy.
Notes
For extra crispy wings, pat them dry before seasoning and baking.
Flip the wings halfway through baking to cook them evenly on both sides.
If you prefer a milder sauce, add more butter to the buffalo sauce. For more heat, increase the amount of buffalo sauce or add a splash of hot sauce.
To reheat leftover wings, bake them in the oven at 400°F for about 10-15 minutes to regain crispiness.
