Enjoy your favorite crispy, spicy buffalo wings without all the sodium thanks to this easy double-baked recipe and a flavorful homemade sauce.

  • Total Time: 1 hour, 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Units

For the Wings:

  • 1.5 pounds chicken wings
  • Oil, for tossing

For the Low Sodium Buffalo Sauce:

  • 2 teaspoons ground cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup white distilled vinegar
  • 1 cup water, divided
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Pat wings dry with a paper towel, then lightly toss in oil. Bake at 350°F until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 20 minutes.
  2. Combine cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, vinegar, water, and butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
  3. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool. This is your salt-free buffalo sauce.
  4. Remove wings from the oven and let rest for 15 minutes. While resting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Then transfer to the oven and cook for another 10 minutes, or until crispy.
  5. Place wings in a bowl and toss with the low-sodium buffalo sauce. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Be sure to pat dry your chicken wings with paper towels. This will make the wings extra crispy!
  • Allowing the wings to rest before baking at a higher temperature will make them way crispier, as the wait period renders the fat in the skin.
