Recipe Details

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 50 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Servings: 4-6
  • Difficulty: Intermediate

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Buffalo Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (like Frank's RedHot)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce (gluten-free variety)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss them in the olive oil to coat.

  4. Dredge each wing in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off excess. Place wings on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.

  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

  6. While the wings are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan, combine hot sauce, butter, white vinegar, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.

  7. Heat the sauce mixture over medium heat, stirring until the butter is melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.

  8. When the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the warm buffalo sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.

  9. Serve immediately with celery sticks and your favorite gluten-free dipping sauce.

Chef's Notes

  • For extra crispy wings, you can place them on a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
  • To make ahead, prepare the wings up to the baking stage and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before cooking.
  • For a milder sauce, increase the ratio of butter to hot sauce.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes to crisp them up again.
