Dear Savages,
These Crispy & Tender Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings will hit the spot if you are craving crispy spicy wings. I love Kinders so I was excited to use both the Kinders Buffalo Seasoning & Dip and the Kinders Buttery Buffalo Wing Sauce. Growing up in the Bay Area Kinders is a staple around here so if you have not tried their rubs, seasonings, or sauces check them out! You will not be disappointed. New products always come out, and if you love to cook you will be inspired to create new things with what they offer.
My goal in making these wings was to have tender chicken with a crispy coating that I could bake in the oven. First I started by marinating the chicken wings in buttermilk for two hours. The buttermilk’s high acidity helps tenderize the chicken and is a sticking agent for your coating mix. When you are ready to coat the chicken do not rinse the buttermilk from the wings. I still used an egg wash before coating the wings.
Next, I used potato starch, corn starch, baking powder, and the Kinders Buffalo Dip & Seasoning for the coating mix. The potato starch and baking powder are key in creating the crisp factor in the baked wings. Once I coated the wings I let them sit on an oven rack (you can also bake them on this one) for 30 minutes so that the coating mix had fully bonded to the wing and any excess had driped off. I do not recommend skipping this step, it will ensure you do not get soggy wings.
After baking the wings they end up with a shell of crispiness that does not fall away when you toss them. The chicken is tender from the buttermilk marinade and comes away from the bone very easily. Finally, after the wings finish baking let them sit for five minutes and then toss them. You want to toss them while they are still hot because the sauce will stick better to the wings.
Wings are great for dinner, to serve as an appetizer, or to bring to a party. I served these Crispy & Tender Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings with my Creamy Homemade Ranch Dressing. These wings were a huge hit in our house. My husband and oldest son loved them and I will be making them again very soon. Enjoy!
From my kitchen to yours!

Crispy & Tender Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings
These Crispy & Tender Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings will hit the spot if you are craving crispy spicy wings. My goal in making these wings was to have tender chicken with a crispy coating that I could bake in the oven.
- Total Time: 3 Hours
- Yield: 20 Wings (Approximately) 1x
Ingredients
Chicken Wings, 2lbs.
- Buttermilk, 1 quart
- Baking Powder, 2 Tbs.
- Bob’s Redmill Potato Starch, 1/2 cup
- Corn Starch, 1/2 cup
- Eggs, 2
- Water, 2 Tbs.
- Kinder’s Buttery Buffalo Wing Sauce
Serve With
- Carrots
- Celery
- Hidden Valley Ranch Original Ranch Salad Dressing & Seasoning Mix, 1 Oz. Packet
- Sour Cream, 16 Oz.
Instructions
Marinate Chicken Wings
-
Pat your chicken wings dry with a paper towel, put them in a medium-sized mixing bowl, and cover them with buttermilk. You will want to refrigerate your marinated wings for 2-4 hours.
Bake Your Wings
-
Preheat your oven to 425.
-
Once the chicken wings have marinated you want to create your egg wash. Beat two eggs in a bowl with 2 tbs. of water and set aside.
-
In a separate wide bowl whisk together the potato starch, corn starch, baking powder, and Kinders Buffalo Dip & Seasoning to create your coating mix.
-
Take each wing from the buttermilk and dip into the egg wash, and then to the coating mix and place onto the baking rack. Once all wings are coated let them sit on the rack for 30 minutes so that the coating sticks to the wing. If your rack is not oven safe transfer the wings to a baking pan with parchment paper to bake.
-
Letting the wings sit is not a step you want to skip, it will ensure you do not have soggy wings.
-
Once you have let the wings sit for 30 minutes put them in the oven to bake at 425 for 30-33 minutes and then reduce the heat to 350 degrees for an additional 7-10 minutes. The total cooking time should be about 40 minutes.
-
If you have a convection oven you will want to reduce the total time by 25% or reduce your temperature by 25 degrees.
-
If you are at a higher altitude (3500+) you want to increase the temperature settings by 15 to 25 degrees.
-
Let the wings set for 5 minutes and transfer them to a bowl you can toss them in.
-
Toss Wings & Enjoy!
