Really Good Oven-Fried Buffalo Wings
- Minutes to Cook:
- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
4 pounds chicken wings, cut into drumettes and flats1 tablespoon baking powder1 tablespoon kosher salt1 cup of your favorite wing sauce (the classic is a half and half mixture of Frank's Hot Sauce and melted butter. Personally, I prefer a higher proportion of hot sauce)
Note: This recipe takes one day to prepare, so make sure and plan ahead!
Procedure
1. Line rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, and set rack inside. Carefully dry chicken wings with paper towels. Place 1/3 of wings in large bowl, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt, and toss until thoroughly and evenly coated. Place on rack, leaving slight space between each wing. Repeat with remaining two batches of wings.
2. Place baking sheet with wings in refrigerator and allow to rest, uncovered, at least 8 hours, and up to 18 hours.
3. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and preheat oven to 450°F. Add chicken wings and cook for 20 minutes. Flip wings and continue to cook until crisp and golden brown, 15 to 25 minutes longer. Transfer to large bowl, add sauce, toss to thoroughly coat, and serve with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks, conspicuously shunning anyone who says that real buffalo wings must be fried.

Yes, the calories are high BUT this is optimal for a low carb diet.
For low carbers, calories are not the issue and the carbs here are VERY low. Much lower than BWW, for example, where 3 wings = 2 carbs.
For this recipe, ~12 wings = 1.2 carbs. Hope you like them. =)
