Notes
Secrets to Success
- I highly recommend using a non-stick baking mat on your baking sheet for best results. Since we're baking in the oven, you want to ensure your wings are easy to remove from the baking tray. Alternatively, parchment paper works as well!
Serving Tips
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce and a side of carrot sticks and celery sticks (as is custom with traditional buffalo chicken wings!).
- I recommend a vegan ranch dressing for dipping. The creaminess of the ranch balances the hot buffalo sauce super well. You can also look for a vegan blue cheese dressing.
- This is the perfect appetizer for large groups. Double the batch for a large gathering or game day snack.
Storage Tips
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or in your air fryer basket to return them to their crispy texture.
