Ingredients
  

For the Wings:
  • 12 pieces chicken drumettes
  • 6 pieces wings
  • 6 pieces legs
For the Sauce:
  • 4 ounces unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup Frank's Red Hot sauce

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Meat thermometer
  • Basting brush

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions:
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This step is crucial for getting that perfect crispy skin.
  2. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. This will not only help with cleanup but also allow for even cooking.
  3. In a mixing bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave. Once melted, whisk in the minced garlic and Frank's Red Hot sauce until well combined.
  4. Place the chicken drumettes, wings, and legs in a large bowl. Pour the garlic buffalo sauce over the chicken. Use your hands or a pair of tongs to thoroughly coat each piece of chicken in the sauce.
  5. Spread the coated chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is space between each piece for even cooking.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, turning the wings halfway through. This will help them crisp up on all sides.
  7. Once golden and crispy, remove the wings from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy the explosion of flavors!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the wings in the sauce for a few hours before baking.
  • Try different hot sauces to adjust the heat level to your preference.
  • Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for a classic pairing.
