These Crispy Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings are a delicious gluten-free appetizer perfect for game day or any occasion. Coated with garlic and seasoned for flavor, these wings are baked to crispy perfection and tossed in flavorful buffalo sauce. The recipe ensures a healthier twist on traditional fried wings using avocado oil and oven baking, delivering tender, juicy meat with a spicy kick.

Ingredients

Chicken Wings

  • 2 pounds split chicken wings (party wings)
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Buffalo Sauce

  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Pat the wings dry: Using paper towels, pat the chicken wings as dry as possible. Removing moisture helps the wings become crispy during baking.
  2. Prepare for baking: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  3. Toss wings with seasoning: Place the dried wings in a large bowl. Add avocado oil, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to ensure each wing is evenly coated with seasoning and oil.
  4. Arrange wings on baking sheet: Lay the wings out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Spacing them out promotes even cooking and helps with crispiness.
  5. Bake the wings: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes. Flip the wings halfway through the cooking time to achieve even browning and crispiness.
  6. Warm the buffalo sauce: Shortly before the wings finish baking, gently warm the buffalo sauce in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave it for about 30 seconds. Set aside.
  7. Broil for extra crispiness: Turn the oven to broil and broil the wings for 2 to 3 minutes. This step gives the skin an extra crispy texture. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  8. Toss wings with buffalo sauce: Remove wings from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the warmed buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until fully coated.
  9. Serve immediately: Serve the crispy buffalo chicken wings right away, ideally with celery sticks and your favorite dip such as a dairy-free ranch.

Notes

  • Patting wings dry is essential for crispiness—don’t skip this step.
  • Using parchment paper on the baking sheet helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • If you prefer less spicy wings, adjust the buffalo sauce quantity or use a milder sauce.
  • To make homemade buffalo sauce, combine melted butter with hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot).
  • Broiling is optional but recommended for extra crispy skin.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten free—always check labels on buffalo sauce to ensure no gluten ingredients.
