3. Baked Buffalo wings recipe
The secret to making these wings crispy and delicious is to marinate them for at least an hour and a half.

- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the hot sauce
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup hot sauce
- 1 dash ground black pepper
- 1 dash garlic powder
Directions:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Clean the chicken wings, removing the skin or keeping it on (it’s up to you).
- In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, salt and cayenne pepper or chili powder.
- Place the chicken wings in a large glass bowl.
- Coat the wings evenly with the flour mixture.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap, and keep it in the refrigerator.
- Marinate for an hour or 90 minutes.
- Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray (preferably Pam).
- Place the marinated chicken wings on the sheet, and lightly spray the wings with cooking spray.
- Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees F, then increase the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
- Take the wings out of the oven, and spray them with cooking spray.
- Place the wings back in the oven, and bake them for another 10 minutes. This makes the wings crispy.
