Oven Baked Buffalo Wings
"This is an extremely simple oven baked chicken wing "recipe". It's roots came out of me being tired of paying premium prices for those frozen cooked Buffalo Wings in the grocery store! I hesitate to even call it a recipe, since it is so simple. Not fancy, but super simple on time and ingredients.. and still satisfying."

- Ready In:
- 50mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Yields:
-
32 wings
- Serves:
- 4-6
ingredients
- 3 lbs chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- soul seasoning (I use "All Island Soul Seasoning") (optional)
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce (or more)
- 3 tablespoons butter
directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Prepare chicken wings by using poultry shears and sniping off the wing tips (discard, or freeze for other use, like stock), and snip at remaining wing joint. This gives you "2" wings per wing.
- Spread oil on baking sheet.
- Spread wings in single layer on baking sheet.
- You may choose to slide wings around on the oiled sheet, to put a light coating of oil on the wings. Less oil on wings makes for slightly less crispness.a bit of oil helps seasoning stick. You could omit oil, and spray with a good quality non-stick olive oil product.
- This step is optional. Sprinkle as liberally as you dare with your choice of seasoning. This is where experimentation comes in, be daring, try what's in your spice cabinet, however I've come to like a common "All Island Soul Seasoning", with a touch of cayanne or ground red or white pepper. If you're cutting back on salt, be cautious of prepared seasoning, as they have a lot of sodium.
- Bake until browned, cooked through, and a bit crispy. About 40 minutes. Use your nose and eyes to check! I use my convection setting on my oven too, which cuts on the cooking time, but makes a nice crisp even coating.
- Remove from oven, and cool for about 15 minutes.
- Melt butter and mix with hot sauce. (again. amount of hot sauce to your taste).
- Toss with the wings in a serving bowl with the butter/hot sauce mixture.
- Serve with your favorite Blue Cheese Dressing and celery sticks.

WOW these turned out wonderful! Was in a HURRY on my daughters 14th birthday. She wanted wings for her party, working together we had these in time :) We like ours HOT so we sprinkled our 'special' mix that I always have ready and there we had it worked great! -
Tossed wings in olive oil and Emeril's Original Essence spice mix. Baked at 400 for 40 min, turning halfway thru. Remove wings to second pan and baste with barbecue sauce. Broil for about 5 min.

I made these today and they was awesome!!! I marinated my chicken drumetes overnight. -
These were excellent! Not only where they easy to prepare...but the flavor was so yummy... I did use the buffalo wing sauce that I purchased at the grocery store other wise I made as posted...:) -
It has just had the buffalo wings offered a new alternative to the frying method, but while a spice rub works for this for its preparation, the effort, color, and quality are worth it.

I love to sing Barbershop Harmony (Sweet Adeline Int.) in addition to a love for road racing and the SCCA community! (google it!) My family's cooking history is rooted in the farm country of Central New York State. Mom knew how to can fresh vegetables from the garden, tap our Maple trees to make homemade syrup, and the value of simple cooking using inexpensive ingredients. Add to that a husband who favors spicy foods and ethnic choices like West Indian, or Asian, and the soul food of the deep south, and my own roots of Germanic and English (is there such a thing?) cooking and our family has a wide variety of favorites plus an adventurous spirit to try new things!
