Ingredients for Blazing Buffalo Wings

Chicken wings are the star of the show, providing the perfect canvas for our blazing sauce. The all-purpose flour helps create a crispy coating when the wings are baked. Adding a touch of salt and black pepper enhances the basic flavor of the wings.

The hot sauce brings the heat and tanginess that defines classic buffalo wings. We use unsalted butter to add richness and balance the spice, while white vinegar gives a slight tang. Garlic powder and onion powder add depth and savory notes. The real kicker here is the ghost peppers, which take the heat to the next level. Finally, cool things down with a side of blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

Tips & Tricks

  • If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of ghost peppers or substitute with milder peppers.
  • For extra crispy wings, pat them dry with paper towels before coating them in flour.
  • Use a wire rack on your baking sheet to allow air circulation around the wings for even crispiness.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these wings with a side of blue cheese dressing for dipping and a stack of celery sticks for a refreshing crunch. They pair wonderfully with a cold beer or a fizzy soda, making them a hit at any gathering or game day event.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these wings less spicy?

Blazing Buffalo Wings Recipe Walkthrough

First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grab a baking sheet. Line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. While the oven heats up, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. This simple coating gives the wings a nice crispy texture.

Now, toss your chicken wings in the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Shake off any excess flour and place the wings in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Pop them in the oven for about 30-35 minutes. Flip them halfway through to get that even crispiness we all love.

While those wings are turning golden, let's make the sauce. In a saucepan over low heat, combine the hot sauce, butter, vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, and those finely chopped ghost peppers. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The goal is a smooth, well-blended sauce that packs a punch.

Once your wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the wings and toss until they're all evenly coated with that blazing goodness.
