Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 stick Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Frank's RedHot sauce
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil (for greasing)
• 6 sticks Celery sticks (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 cup Ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving crispy skin.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.

Step 4

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Make sure they are not touching each other for optimal crispiness.

Step 5

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the skin is golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

While the wings are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add Frank's RedHot sauce, garlic powder, and honey. Stir until the sauce is well combined and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.

Step 8

Serve the wings immediately with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side, if desired. Enjoy!
