Gordon Ramsay Buffalo Wings

Gordon Ramsay Buffalo Wings
Print Recipe

Gordon Ramsay’s buffalo wings are deep-fried or oven-baked chicken wings coated in a homemade buffalo sauce made from hot sauce, butter, and seasonings. His version focuses on achieving ultra-crispy skin while keeping the meat tender and juicy. The final coating balances heat, acidity, and richness perfectly.

Ingredients

For the wings:

  • 1 kg (2.2 lbs) chicken wings, split at the joint, tips removed

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (for crispiness)

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (if baking)

For the buffalo sauce:

  • ½ cup (120ml) hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

  • Salt, to taste

Optional for serving:

  • Celery sticks

  • Carrot sticks

  • Blue cheese or ranch dressing

Instructions

  • Prep the wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This is crucial for crispiness.

  • Season and coat: Toss the wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, and a light drizzle of oil if baking.

  • Bake or fry the wings:

    • To bake: Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking tray with parchment and place wings on a rack. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

    • To fry: Heat oil to 180°C (350°F). Fry wings in batches for 8–10 minutes until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  • Make the buffalo sauce: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in hot sauce, vinegar, garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then remove from heat.

  • Toss the wings in sauce: Place the cooked wings in a large bowl, pour the sauce over, and toss to coat evenly.

  • Serve immediately: Arrange on a platter with celery, carrots, and your favorite dipping sauce.
