How to Make Authentic Anchor Bar Buffalo Chicken Wings

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Cut whole chicken wings into drumettes and flats (if using whole wings).
  3. In a large bowl, toss the wings with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  4. Place the wings in a large plastic bag. Add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and shake to coat evenly.
  5. Remove wings from the bag, shaking off excess flour. Arrange in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with oiled foil. Do not overcrowd.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes. Flip the wings and bake for another 20 minutes, or until cooked through and golden brown.
  7. While wings bake, prepare the sauce: In a saucepan, combine 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1/2 cup hot sauce (Frank's RedHot is traditional), 2 tablespoons white vinegar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste), and a dash of Tabasco sauce (adjust to taste).
  8. Simmer sauce over low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
  9. Once wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl.
  10. Pour the sauce over the hot wings and toss gently to coat completely.
  11. Serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing.
