Good Eats Baked Buffalo Wings
By: atlfitgirl
Feb 5, 2008
I love buffalo wings, but not all the deep frying that is involved. I was watching "Good Eats" one day and Alton Brown's fool proof method to delicious buffalo wings was discovered! I did make a few adjustments to this recipe that helped me out... but stayed true to the original for the most part. This method may be a little time consuming, but the end result of crispy, fall of the bone, tender wings is well worth it. The cook time includes the 1 hour in which the wings rest/cool in the refrigerator before baking.
SERVES 4
Ingredients
- 12 whole chicken wings (tips removed and cut at the joint)
- 3 ounces unsalted butter
- 1 small garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup louisiana hot sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (optional)
- bleu cheese salad dressing (optional)
- celery (optional)
Directions
1
Place a 6-quart saucepan with a steamer basket and 1-inch of water in the bottom, over high heat, cover and bring to a boil.2
Place the wings into the steamer basket, cover, reduce the heat to medium and steam for 10 minutes.3
Remove the wings from the basket and carefully pat dry.4
Lay the wings out on a cooling rack set in a half sheet pan lined with paper towels and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.5
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.6
Replace the paper towels with parchment paper or aluminum foil sprayed with a little non-stick spray.7
Roast on the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes.8
Turn the wings over and cook another 20 minutes or until meat is cooked through and the skin is golden brown.9
If you are like me and like your wings a little browner and crispier, broil them for an additional 5-10 minutes.10
While the wings are roasting, melt the butter in a small saucepan along with the garlic.11
Pour this along with hot sauce and the optional salt into a bowl large enough to hold all of the chicken and stir to combine.12
Remove the wings from the oven and transfer to the bowl and toss with the sauce.13
Serve warm with bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks if desired.

Husband says this made his top five list and that says a lot for a gluten-free, non-fried wing. They are succulent, saucy, tender, have a little kick and those little bits of crispyness at the ends like most good wings do.
I used 16 wings, which fed the two of us with zero leftovers 
and steamed them for 20 minutes in a large steamer pot w/ a basket. The steaming really seals in the juices and makes the meat tender. Laid them on a broiler pan lined with paper towels and the let them cool in the fridge. After 30 minutes I covered them with foil and let them sit another hour.
I placed the wings on a foil-lined cookie sheet and oiled the foil with non-stick spray. I gently brushed a tad of olive oil over the tops of the wings and baked them for 25 minutes. Flipped them and baked the other side another 30 minutes. Turned them back over, raised the oven to 500 and baked them until crispy and golden brown. For kicks I turned it on broil and broiled them 2 minutes. WATCH out if you broil them, it goes quickly.
For the sauce I used 1 and 1/2 sticks butter and warmed it in a sauce pan. When it melted I added the minced garlic and stirred it for 5 minutes on low heat to really pull the garlicky flavor through the butter. It tasted like the garlicky butter you dip lobster tail in. Removed it from heat, poured it in a bowl and added 1/2 C of Cholula hot sauce (our favorite). Added 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisked it with a wire wisk.
With tongs I dropped 3 wings at a time into the sauce and let them sit a few seconds before flipping to soak up the sauce. Removed them and laid them on a platter. When all was done I poured the extra sauce over the wings. Wings were so divine they didn't require blue cheese or ranch dressing. Served them with a side of collard greens and a sea salt crusted baked potato.
Thank you Alton Brown!!!!

This is awsome and healthier then deep frying. We do wings this way all the time. There is no other way to do wings. And from being from the area thank you for the sauce and 2 thumbs up for the blue cheese. Please i beg of everyone NO Ranch dressing. This is a must try. The south has BBQ, Buffalo has wings( I LOVE both). Happy cooking!!!

The only thing I will do different next time is bake the wings with the sauce on them and baste them as they cook....this was very good!
