Buffalo wings come from Buffalo, New York, from the 1960s, and have become a must-have at American sports bars and game days. The baking powder trick gives crisp skin in the oven, without a deep fryer.

Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

Pat the wings very thoroughly dry with paper towels.
Mix the baking powder, salt, garlic powder and paprika and rub it into the wings.
Place them in a single layer on a wire rack set over a tray and bake in a 250 °C oven (230 °C fan) for 30 minutes, then turn and bake for 20-25 minutes more until golden and crisp.
Meanwhile melt the butter and mix in the hot sauce and honey.
Toss the hot wings in the sauce in a large bowl.
Serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese dip.

Tips

The wings must be dried: wet skin won't crisp.
Baking powder (not bicarbonate of soda) changes the pH of the skin, so it crisps better.
Add the sauce only after baking, otherwise the skin goes soggy.
They can also be deep-fried at 175 °C in 10-12 minutes.

Frequently asked questions

Why aren't my wings crisp?

The skin was wet, the heat too low, or the wings too crowded on the rack.

How hot is buffalo sauce?

Medium; the butter softens it. For milder wings, add more butter.
