Game day isn’t complete without a platter of crispy, flavorful wings. Here’s a simple recipe that delivers on taste without the hassle, perfect for your next gathering!
Ingredients:
- 12 chicken wings (drums or flats, your choice)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (or your favorite hot sauce)
- 1/4 cup ranch or blue cheese dressing (for dipping)
- Optional: Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. -
Prepare the Wings:
Pat the wings dry with paper towels. This is crucial for getting them crispy! Place the wings in a bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. -
Bake the Wings:
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden and crispy. -
Toss in Sauce:
While the wings are baking, heat your buffalo sauce in a small pot or microwave for a few seconds to warm it up. Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and toss them in the warm sauce until evenly coated. -
Serve:
Arrange the wings on a platter, garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
Tips:
-
Extra Crispy: For an even crispier texture, bake the wings on a wire rack set over the baking sheet to allow air circulation around them.
-
Sauce Variety: If you’re not a fan of buffalo sauce, swap it out for BBQ sauce or honey mustard for a different flavor.
These easy, baked wings are the perfect game day snack—crispy, saucy, and always a hit! Enjoy!
