How to Make Alton Brown S Buffalo Wings

1. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a 6-quart saucepan with a steamer basket.
2. Add separated chicken wings to the steamer basket. Cover and steam over medium heat for 10 minutes.
3. Remove wings from steamer and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels.
4. Arrange wings in a single layer on a wire rack set over a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to chill and further dry the skin.
5. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
6. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the chilled wings to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
7. Roast for 20 minutes.
8. Flip the wings and roast for another 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
9. While wings are roasting, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
10. Remove from heat and stir in hot sauce and salt.
11. Once wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl.
12. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
13. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch or bleu cheese dressing.
