Name: Classic Baked Buffalo Wings
Total time: 45 min
Ingredients: chicken wings; Frank's RedHot; butter; garlic powder

Baking chicken with hot sauce isn't just about adding heat; it's about building layers of flavor. The oven's consistent, dry heat caramelizes the sugars and acids in the hot sauce, transforming it into a rich, complex glaze that adheres beautifully to the chicken. This method ensures tender meat and a deeply flavored exterior.
