Oven-baked Buffalo chicken wings with all the tips and tricks to make them the crispiest wings you’ve ever had!

I’ve been making buffalo wings for years and years. Every football season I try to tweak the recipe to make them better and better. And I’ve finally perfected my recipe! These are the crispiest oven-baked wings I’ve ever eaten. The trick I’ve found is to pat them dry, dry them out in the freezer, coat them in baking powder, and bake them on a drying rack. This all will maximize the crispiness and make them fall right off the bone!
