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 Wings Completely Dry 🏜️
Use paper towels to thoroughly remove all moisture from chicken wings before cooking; this is the critical step for achieving crispy, golden skin in the oven rather than steamed wings.
Use a Wire Rack for Air Circulation 🔀
Place wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet so hot air circulates underneath, creating crispiness on all sides without flipping or turning the wings halfway through baking.
Toast the Sauce Before Tossing 🔥
Gently warm your buffalo sauce and butter mixture on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes before tossing with baked wings; this helps the sauce coat evenly and prevents it from sliding off the crispy exterior.
Pre-Season with Oil and Seasonings 🧂
Toss wings with a light coating of oil and dry seasonings (salt, pepper, garlic powder) before baking to enhance crispiness and flavor depth beyond just the buffalo sauce coating.
Finish with Fresh Ingredients 🌶️
Top finished wings with fresh blue cheese crumbles, chopped celery, or fresh cilantro after tossing in sauce to add textural contrast and bright flavors that elevate the dish above standard preparation.
