Classic Buffalo Wings with Dipping Sauce
Buffalo wings are a classic game-day treat, perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Tossed in a spicy sauce, they bring a flavor that’s both bold and comforting. Making these wings is simple; with just a few ingredients, you can whip them up in no time for your Super Bowl food board.
To make your wings stand out, serve them with a creamy dipping sauce, like ranch or blue cheese, alongside crunchy celery sticks. This combination not only looks great on a Super Bowl party food board but also balances the heat of the wings with a refreshing crunch. Don’t forget to garnish your wings with some chopped green onions for a pop of color!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Celery sticks, for serving
- Ranch or blue cheese dressing, for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they get crispy. Place them in a large bowl and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Bake the Wings: Spread the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for about 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Make the Sauce: While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in the hot sauce and vinegar until well combined.
- Toss the Wings: Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and toss them in the sauce until evenly coated.
- Serve: Arrange the wings on a platter with celery sticks and your choice of dipping sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Tips for presentation include serving the wings on a rustic wooden board, which adds a nice touch to your Super Bowl party food board. You can also add some colorful veggies around the wings for a vibrant display. For variations, try adding different spices to the sauce, like cayenne for extra heat or honey for a sweet twist!
