Baked Buffalo Wings
Traditional buffalo wings are deep-fried and loaded with butter. These baked buffalo wings, made without any butter, are broiled in the oven, making them crispy, golden, and much healthier. You can adjust the heat to your taste or make them in the air fryer following my air fryer chicken wings recipe. They’re perfect for an appetizer, lunch, or dinner! More healthier versions of classic party appetizers I love are these Baked Mozzarella Sticks, a Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip, and loaded baked Sweet Potato Skins.

Chicken Wingettes or Drumettes are parts of the whole chicken wing. Chicken wings are usually sold already cut into smaller pieces, which makes them easier to cook evenly since the pieces are all the same size. Franks Hot Sauce is my favorite, but use whichever brand you prefer. White Vinegar infuses the wings with a tangy flavor and tenderizes the chicken. Spices and Herbs: Oregano, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, black pepper
How to Make Buffalo Chicken Wings
Marinating the chicken wings for just 30 minutes imparts a spicy, tangy flavor that will have you coming back for more! The complete instructions are in the recipe card below.
Variations
Herbs: Swap oregano with dried thyme. Garlic Powder: Substitute onion powder. Make Them Spicier: Add some cayenne pepper to the marinade. Don’t like spicy wings? Replace hot sauce with BBQ sauce.
What to Serve with Baked Buffalo Wings
Keep it classic and pair the buffalo chicken wings with celery and carrot sticks with homemade blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing. They’d be an excellent appetizer for a football-watching party. As a Main Dish Dinner: Serve the wings with a green salad or roasted broccoli to make it a meal.
Storage
These baked chicken wings are best served right after they come out of the oven, but if you have leftovers, here’s how to store them:
Refrigerate leftover buffalo wings for 4 days. Freeze wings for 3 months in an airtight container. Thaw the chicken in the fridge and reheat it in the microwave or air fryer until warm.
