Spicy with a kick of vinegar, these crispy baked buffalo chicken hot wings will leave the plate in no time. I love serving them with blue cheese dip (store-bought or the dip below) and celery. These wings can easily be doubled, tripled, or quadrupled for a crowd.

Adam and Joanne's Tips
- No wire rack: If you do not have a wire rack that will fit inside a baking sheet, you can still make wings. Arrange them on the baking sheet without the rack and rotate a few times during baking.
- Nutrition facts: The nutrition facts provided below are estimates. We have used the USDA database to calculate approximate values. 1 pound of wings will be 8 to 12 wings, depending on size. We did not include the blue cheese dipping sauce in our calculations.
