Ingredients
Wings
- ~1 kg chicken wings, thawed and patted dry (about 24 pieces)
- 2 tbsp olive oil, for coating
- Aluminum foil or disposable tray
Sauce
- 1 egg yolk, separated
- 1–2 tbsp butter
- Buffalo Wild Wings Sauce, to taste
- Medium bowl (for mixing)
For Serving
- Celery sticks
- Carrot sticks
- Blue cheese or ranch dressing
- Honey drizzle (optional)

Steps
- Preheat – Set oven to 200°C (390°F), convection.
- Prep tray – Line a baking tray with foil. Pat wings very dry; brush both sides with olive oil.
- Build sauce – Whisk egg yolk in a bowl. In a small pan, melt butter, stir in Buffalo sauce, and simmer gently; pour half into the yolk and whisk smooth.
- Bake – Arrange wings on the tray; bake 40 minutes, flipping at 20 minutes.
- Coat – Dip hot wings in the yolk‑sauce bowl, coating both sides evenly.
- Broil – Return wings to tray and broil 3 minutes at 220°C (425°F) until crisp at the edges.
- Finish – Brush with the remaining pan sauce. Rest briefly on a rack and serve.
Plating
- Stack wings in the center of a platter.
- Fan celery and carrot sticks along one side.
- Serve with a small bowl of blue cheese or ranch for dipping.
TwoFoodies Tips
- Want extra crisp? Broil 1–2 minutes longer, watching closely.
- Deeper flavor: whisk a pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder into the sauce.
- Faster method: air‑fry at 200°C (390°F) for ~25 minutes, flipping halfway.
