I’m becoming slightly embarrassed/impressed about the amount of chicken wing recipes I’m cataloging for an extremely new blog. But hey, no shame in my game. I love wings, what can I say?! These baked buffalo drummies are awesome and so easy. Little work in the kitchen + only a few ingredients = a hit at my house. And yours, too!
If you want these buffalo drummies extra crispy, place a baking rack on a baking sheet and put the wings on that before you pop them in the oven. This will allow all the grease and drippings to fall off of the chicken drumsticks instead of cooking in them. Make sure you still line the baking sheet with tin foil if you do this so clean up is as simple as the baking process is! 🙂
You can also use olive oil in place of ghee if you don’t have any. Tin Star is an awesome one but a cheaper alternative is one offered by Trader Joe’s. The sauce I use for these wings is from Tessemae’s or Frank’s. I make these wings a lot and usually always have both of these sauces in the fridge. Either one works really well, so use whatever you have! Both of those options are Paleo and Whole30.
I made my own ranch dressing (which, to be honest, I totally rarely do) to dunk these buffalo drummies in. I love ranch, like, a lot. I just don’t make my own that often because I make it with mayo and that means I’d have to have mayo on hand – which I don’t keep around that much. Plus, the Whole30 and Paleo SUPER SQUEAKY CLEAN ranch from Primal Kitchen Foods is the best ranch ’round town. Even better than the conventional store bought brands, in my opinion. If you haven’t tried it, do. You can get it from their website (use the code GROK15 to save 15% off site-wide), get it from Amazon, Thrive Market, or some Whole Foods stores.
Here’s a few other wing recipes to keep ya’ full and happy:

May be a bit dangerous to put marinade which has touched raw chicken on the cooked ones? Unless I’m missing the part where you set aside some marinade before the chicken goes in it? Looks delicious otherwise.
Matt says
Do you flip the wings halfway through cooking?
paleobailey says
I don’t, but you certainly could!! 🙂

Thank you so much!

Hi! Do you have a suggested serving size aka number of wings? Thank you!
paleobailey says
Hi! Good question! It’s hard to give a number of wings per serving because the size of the wings can vary so much depending on what you buy/have available! A standard serving size for chicken is 4 ounces, or 4.4 ounces with bones! I’d suggest for these size wings, a serving would be 4-5 wings 🙂
