Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help them become crispy during baking.
Toss the wings in the flour mixture, making sure they are evenly coated. Shake off any excess coating.
Place the coated wings on the prepared wire rack. Make sure they’re spaced apart to allow for even cooking.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the hot sauce, honey, and white vinegar. Simmer for 2-3 minutes and set aside.
Once the wings are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. Let them cool for 5 minutes.
Transfer the wings to a large bowl. Pour the prepared sauce over the wings and toss them gently until they are evenly coated.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and celery sticks, if desired. Enjoy the crunchy, spicy flavor explosion!
