Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lb Chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 1 tbsp Honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
- 6 sticks Celery sticks (for serving)
- 0.5 cup Ranch or blue cheese dressing (for dipping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to allow airflow for crispy wings.
Pat the chicken wings completely dry using paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving crispiness.
In a large mixing bowl, combine baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss the chicken wings in the mixture until they are evenly coated on all sides.
Arrange the wings on the prepared wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other for even cooking.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the wings and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown, crispy, and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
While the wings are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the hot sauce and honey (if using) until fully combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the wings are baked, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. Then, transfer the wings to a large mixing bowl.
Pour the prepared buffalo sauce over the wings and toss them gently to coat evenly.
Serve the wings immediately with celery sticks and your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
