Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings (split into flats and drumettes)
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder (not baking soda)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Optional garnishes: chopped parsley or green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack to prevent sticking.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for ensuring a crispy texture.
In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Be sure not to overcrowd them to allow even cooking.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the wings and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the hot sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss gently to coat evenly.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley or green onions if desired. These wings pair perfectly with carrot sticks, celery, and a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing!
