What are baked Garlic Buffalo Wings?

Don’t be fooled by the word baked, the worst is when you are trying a healthy “baked” version of something fried and it lacks crispiness and crunch (all the things the frying helps with). These wings are baked + broiled to deliver the perfect balance of a crispy tender wing, and of course, tossed in a spicy garlic buffalo sauce.

Tips for making the ultimate crispy & tender oven-baked wings

Things to do before baking:

– Use a paper towel to pat the wings dry to absorb any extra moisture that could prevent the wings from getting crispy. 

– Fully coat in the cornstarch, this adds an extra layer of crispiness and crunch to the wings, so make sure they are nicely coated. 

– Put the wings on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet to bake, this will prevent the wings from getting soggy on one side from the juice that the wings will release.

Things to do during baking:

– Flip the wings halfway through the baking process, this will ensure that all sides of the wings get an even bake. 

– For the last few minutes of baking, change your oven settings to broil to give them a golden color and an extra crispy exterior. Remember to keep a close eye on them while they are broiling, they can go from 0 to 100 real quick!
