Baked Buffalo Wings

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
20 chicken wings
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup hot pepper sauce (for example, Franks RedHot sauce)
Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing, for dipping.

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease with cooking spray. Place flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and salt into a resealable plastic bag and shake to mix. Make sure chicken wings are completely dry and add them to the bag. Seal bag and toss until wings are well coated with flour mixture.

Place wings onto prepared baking sheet and place in refrigerator. Chill at least 1 hour to prevent wings from getting soggy. (For faster preparation, place wings in the freezer about 20 min)

Whisk together melted butter and hot sauce in a small bowl. Dip wings into butter mixture, and place back on baking sheet. Bake about 45 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and is crispy on the outside. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F. Rotate wings halfway through cooking time so they cook evenly.

Serve with your favorite dips or eat plain-they are delicious either way!
Makes 20 wings.

We really liked this recipe but they weren't really very hot. So if you like the flavor of buffalo wings without the heat these were made for you! We ate them with carrots and ranch! I have a picture of my cute husband enjoying these but I've been forbidden to post it…men. ;)
