13 May 2025

Crispy baked buffalo wings coated in a sticky, fiery hot sauce butter glaze. These wings are everything you want — golden and crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with heat. Serve them straight from the oven with a generous bowl of Blue Cheese Sauce for dipping.

Ingredients

12 serves

--- Wings ---
1.6–2kg chicken nibbles/wings
2 Tbs olive oil
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 Tbs smoked paprika
1½ tsp salt
1½ tsp black pepper
--- Buffalo Sauce ---
300ml hot sauce
100g salted butter
3 tsp honey
¾ Tbs white vinegar

Method

1
Preheat your oven to 220°C fan-forced. Line a large baking tray with a wire rack.
2
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towel — this is the key to getting them crispy.
3
Toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
4
Arrange in a single layer on the wire rack and bake for 20 minutes. Turn over and bake for a further 15 minutes or until cooked through.
5
While the wings bake, whisk together the hot sauce, melted butter, white vinegar, and honey in a large bowl.
6
Remove the wings from the oven and toss immediately in the buffalo sauce until well coated.
7
Serve straight away with Blue Cheese Sauce for dipping.
