Crispy Baked Buffalo Wings

These oven baked buffalo wings are finger lickin’ good – and no deep frying required!

I’m a big buffalo wings fan – the deep-fried kind – who wouldn’t go crazy over those right?  They’re not exactly the healthiest of foods, so I needed to come up with a lightened up way to enjoy them.  Now these may be a bit different from your average wings because they are not fried, but they turned out so crispy, scrumptious and flavorful.

And you don’t need to deal with a big vat of oil – that’s a win in my book!

I’m sharing a super easy wing recipe, and with my method for baking them instead of deep frying, you’ll get crispy wings every time.

I used Budweiser Brewmaster’s Premium Wing Sauce for tossing my wings in while they’re still hot, and love that they have the perfect combination of spices and tangy flavors. I used the mild variety, but it also comes in hot if you like a little more heat. Beer and wings – I’d say that’s a pretty solid combination!
