Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
In a large bowl, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Combine salt, pepper, and baking powder in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over the chicken wings and toss until wings are evenly coated.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they don't touch each other.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, and honey, then remove from heat and set aside.
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the prepared buffalo sauce over the wings and toss to coat them thoroughly.
Serve the buffalo wings immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing on the side, if desired.
