Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper.
- Arrange the chicken wings on the prepared baking sheet. Spray them with oil, then sprinkle them with kosher salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Then give them another quick spray of oil.
- Bake the wings until the skin is browned and crispy, about 30 minutes. Lower the oven to "keep warm" (170 degrees F) and keep the wings in the oven for 30 more minutes, to crisp up the skin.
- Ten minutes before the wings are ready, prepare the Buffalo sauce: gently melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Add the hot sauce and whisk to combine.
- Using tongs, toss the wings in the Buffalo sauce. Serve immediately, with (if desired) blue cheese dip and celery sticks.

HEALTHIER BOILED AND BROILED BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS
This recipe is a combination of several different methods that I have used over the years trying to lighten up wings and still keep them crispy while finishing in the oven. It takes a little prep time and has a few extra steps but once you see the crispy non-greasy (well a little less greasy than fried) wings that result, I think you will be pleased. This recipe can be adjusted up or down depending on how many wings you need to prepare. Don't forget the celery, blue cheese, and carrots to serve alongside.

Steps:
- Place a large stock pot filled about 3/4 way full with water over high heat, cover and bring to a boil.
- Remove the tips of the wings and discard or save/freeze for making chicken stock. Using kitchen shears or knife to separate the wings at the joint.
- Add chicken and other ingredients except the flour to boiling water. Return to boil and cook 15 minutes with top partially covering stock pot. Adjust temperature as necessary to prevent boil overs.
- While chicken boils combine ingredients for your sauce in a small pan over low to medium low heat stirring often. (Adjust flavorings as you like or you can always use your favorite bottled buffalo wing sauce.) Once sauce is warm you can turn to low or off if you prefer. It will easily reheat when the wings are ready.
- Drain wings in colander shaking to remove excess water. Let sit for a few minutes or pat dry with a towel. They need to cool a little before placing in a plastic bag with flour and spices.
- While wings dry and their temperature cools combine flour and other spices in plastic bag.
- Add wings to mixture and shake to mix to add a light coating of flour. I have found that the flour helps add crispiness and gives the sauce something to soak into. Note it doesn't have to look like fried chicken coating, just a dusting. Now open plastic bag and pour in about a 1/4 cup of your sauce that has cooled down. Shake bag again to evenly coat.
- Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Arrange chicken wings on pan and let sit in refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour to allow flour to adhere to chicken.
- Set oven to broil on HIGH.
- Remove wings replace aluminum foil lining on sheet pain and transfer wings to the clean sheet of foil. This helps prevent any burning smells while broiling.
- Place wings in oven on middle rack and broil on HIGH for about 20-30 minutes per side for a total of an hour. Just keep an eye on them and you will know they are ready when they turn golden brown.
- Pour desired amount of sauce in a large bowl and add chicken wings to coat in sauce and serve while still warm with blue cheese dressing, carrots, and celery.
BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS
Steps:
- Preheat the broiler.
- Cut the chicken wings in thirds, cutting between the bones. Discard the wing tips. Melt the butter and add the cayenne, hot sauce, and salt. Put the wings on a sheet pan and brush them with the melted butter. Broil them about 3 inches below the heat for 8 minutes. Turn the wings, brush them again with the butter, and broil for 4 more minutes or until cooked.
- For the sauce, place the blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process until almost smooth.
- Serve the chicken wings hot or at room temperature with the blue cheese dip and celery sticks.
BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS
Americans are a wing-loving people. The Buffalo variety, by most accounts "invented" at the Anchor Bar in, yes, Buffalo, is the official food of our most sacred event of the year: the Super Bowl. These can be made on the grill or in the oven.

Steps:
- Cut 3 pounds of chicken wings into 3 sections; save the wing tips for stock. Toss the wings with a little neutral oil to keep them from sticking.
- Heat a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat. Leave one side of the grill cooler for indirect cooking.
- Put the wings on the cool side of the grill. Cover the grill and cook, checking and turning once or twice, until most of the fat has been rendered and the wings are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. (You can also broil in the oven on a sheet pan, flipping wings halfway through.)
- While the wings cook, combine 1/3 cup relatively mild hot sauce, 4 tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar or white vinegar, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- When the wings are cooked, add them to the bowl with the sauce, and toss to coat. Now put the wings on the hot part of the grill and cook, uncovered, turning as necessary, until they're nicely browned on both sides. (Or return to the broiler for a few minutes.)

Tips:
- For crispier wings, pat them dry with paper towels before cooking.
- To get an even cook, make sure the wings are in a single layer in the baking dish.
- For a more flavorful wing, marinate them for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you don't have a broiler, you can bake the wings at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through.
- To make sure the wings are cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the wing. It should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the wings with your favorite dipping sauce, such as blue cheese dressing, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.
