What the Scientists Say About Crispy Wings

Did you know that adding baking powder to your chicken wings can make them even more delicious? Food scientists have discovered that it does more than just give them a crispy texture. Baking powder changes the texture of the wings, making them less chewy and more crispy, and also helps to absorb any excess chicken juice. This results in more bubbles and crunch when you bake them, making for an even more enjoyable eating experience. So why not try adding baking powder to your next batch of chicken wings and see the difference for yourself?

Super-Crispy Buffalo Wings – Here’s What You’ll Need

  • 2 pounds chicken wings – Cut into flats and drumettes, compa. You know the deal.
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder – This is the game-changer.
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt – (Or cut it in half if you’re using table salt)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter – Get the good stuff, ese.
  • 4 tablespoons Frank’s RedHot Sauce – The classic. But feel free to experiment!
  • Blue cheese dressing – Don’t forget it!
  • Celery sticks – For that classic Buffalo style, baby.

Get Ready to CRUNCH – Instructions

  1. Line it up: Grab a rimmed baking sheet, throw down some foil, and stick a wire rack on top.
  2. Wings out, towels out: Dry off those chicken wings like they just won a swim meet.
  3. Baking powder magic: Big bowl time! Mix those wings with baking powder and salt until everything has a nice, even coat. Toss ’em on that rack with a little space between each one.
  4. Chill time: Slide that baking sheet into the fridge and let those wings hang out uncovered for at least 8 hours (even a whole day works).
  5. Oven’s getting hot: Crank that oven to 450°F and move a rack to the upper-middle position.
  6. Bake, flip, bake some more: Toss those wings in and bake for 20 minutes. Flip ’em and keep baking until they’re a gorgeous, crispy golden brown (another 15-30 minutes). Keep flipping a few times towards the end for extra crunch.
  7. Sizzle and sauce: While the wings make magic, melt butter with your hot sauce in a pan over medium heat. Whisk it up good!
  8. Toss and serve: Wings are outta the oven! Throw ’em in a big bowl, pour that sauce over, and give it a good toss. Serve immediately with that blue cheese dressing and celery sticks. Anyone who dares to say these ain’t real Buffalo wings gets the side-eye.
