Instructions
- Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or set a wire rack over the sheet for even crisping.
- Prepare the Chicken Wings

- Arrange on Baking Sheet
- Lay the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they don’t touch.
- Bake the Wings
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure both sides become golden and crispy.
- Warm the Buffalo Sauce
- While the wings bake, warm the buffalo sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Coat the Wings
- Once the wings are fully cooked, transfer them to a large bowl.
- Pour the warmed buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
- Serve and Garnish
- Arrange the wings on a serving platter.

Notes
- Baking Powder: Use aluminum-free baking powder for crispier wings and no metallic aftertaste.
