Buffalo wings without the fryer
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
Arrange on a wire rack set in a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, leaving space between wings.
Refrigerate uncovered overnight; the next day the wings should look dry and powdery.
Bake in an oven preheated to 450F for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring 2 tbsp butter per pound of wings and 2 tbsp hot sauce to a simmer over medium heat, whisking. Set aside.
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp hot sauce
Flip the wings after about 20 minutes and keep cooking, flipping occasionally, until completely crisp all over, about 15 to 30 minutes longer.
  • blue cheese dressing
  • celery sticks
Transfer the wings to a bowl, pour on the sauce, toss, and serve with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.
