Crispy Baked Buffalo Wings

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 250℉. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place a baking/cooling rack on the baking sheet and set aside.

Step 2

Place the chicken wing parts in a large bowl. Sprinkle with baking powder and salt. Toss well to coat.

Step 3

Arrange the chicken pieces on the baking/cooking rack in a single layer so that pieces are not touching one another (use a second pan with a rack, if needed).

Step 4

Place the pan in the oven and cook for 30 minutes at 250℉.

Step 5

After 30 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 425℉ and continue cooking for another 20 minutes.

Step 6

After 20 minutes, rotate the pan and cook an additional 20 minutes or until the chicken is crispy and lightly browned.

Step 7

While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce by combining the ghee, hot pepper sauce, vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and cayenne (if using) in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the ghee or butter is melted, whisk to combine and remove from heat.

Step 8

Transfer cooked chicken pieces to a shallow container (such as a 9×13-inch pan) and drizzle with ½ of Buffalo sauce. Toss to coat.

Step 9

Serve remaining sauce with wings or save for another use. May also serve with Homemade Paleo Ranch Dressing for extra dipping pleasure.
