"I dislike fried food, but I love Buffalo wings! So instead of frying, I've been perfecting a technique for baking them that yields terrific results without the mess and greasiness of frying. We love Buffalo wings for dinner--it works well for thighs or drumsticks as well as wings. The cooking time as directed will work for wings, thighs, or drumsticks, but may need to be adjusted for larger pieces."

These wer good, but We thought they were just a bit too spicy. Next time I will cut back on the pepper sauce. Other than that a quick easy recipe to make, and enjoy. Made for Holiday tag.

These really were very good! I love fried Buffalo wings and am always disappointed by baked versions. Due to frequent basting, these wings had lots of flavor and weren't too dry.

I used powdered cajun instead of pepper sauce as my wife is not a big fan of spicy foods. Still tasted wonderful. Thanks for this recipe
