Boxcar Baked Buffalo Wings

I love the classics. Classic cars. Classic movies. Classic books.
Classic rock n’ roll. Classic Motown soul.
And of course, classic buffalo wings.

While this wing recipe doesn’t involve frying – like traditional wings – thanks to a secret step, you won’t know the difference.

So what’s the secret? Baking powder. It helps dry out the top layer of the chicken, leaving it with a crispy crust. And since baking powder has no taste of its own, it presents the perfect opportunity for some heavy seasoning.

One of the best things about wings is that you can have them your way. So if you happen to not be in the mood for buffalo, feel free to toss them in your own sauce. Here’s a list of 37 wing sauces that aren’t buffalo.
