Instructions

Preheat oven to 425F

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

Place 1 Tablespoon of oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat.

Pat the chicken wings dry and add in batches to the skillet.

Pan sear the chicken wings on each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side. You’re not cooking the wings in the skillet, just searing them.

Remove the chicken wings to the prepared cookie sheet.

Repeat in batches until all chicken wings are cooked.

Bake chicken wings for 15-20 minutes, until an inserted meat thermometer reads 165F.

In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter and buffalo sauce, adjusting the measurements to taste.

Place the chicken wings in a bowl and pour in the butter-buffalo sauce.

Toss the chicken wings until fully coated. Serve warm.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pat Dry for Maximum Crispiness 🍗
Use paper towels to thoroughly dry the chicken wings before seasoning and baking; moisture is the enemy of crispy skin, so don't skip this crucial step.
Use a Wire Rack for Even Cooking 🔲
Place wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow hot air to circulate underneath, creating crispy skin on all sides without flipping.
Toss Twice for Optimal Sauce Coating 🥣
Toss wings in buffalo sauce halfway through baking and again at the end; this prevents sauce from burning while ensuring every wing is evenly coated and sticky.
Emulsify Butter Into Buffalo Sauce 🧈
Whisk melted butter directly into your buffalo sauce before tossing to create a silky, rich coating that adheres better than sauce alone and adds incredible depth.
Rest Wings Before Serving ⏱️
Let baked wings rest for 3-5 minutes after removing from the oven to allow the exterior to set and maintain crispiness when eating or dipping.
