Bake the wings crispy

Same church as buffalo: pat dry, toss with baking powder and salt, bake on a rack at 425°F (220°C) for 45–50 minutes, flipping once, until golden and crisp.

You need: wire rack · sheet pan

Build the sauce

In a small pot over medium-low: butter, then garlic for 30 seconds — fragrant, not brown — then honey, soy and vinegar. Simmer 3–4 minutes until it coats a spoon.

You need: honey · soy · garlic · butter · vinegar

Glaze

Toss the hot wings in the sauce, then back on the rack for 5 more minutes in the oven. This second bake turns the coating from wet to lacquered.

Serve

Pile them up, pour any leftover sauce into a dish for dipping, and put out more napkins than feels reasonable.

Crispy Buffalo Wings

Oven-baked wings with genuinely crispy skin — the baking powder trick — tossed in classic butter-and-hot-sauce buffalo. No fryer, no apologies.
