Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place an oven-safe wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
Step 2
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is essential for achieving crispy skin.
Step 3
In a large bowl, mix the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 4
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture until evenly coated.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned wings on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure none of them are touching each other for proper air circulation.
Step 6
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping them over halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
Step 7
While the wings bake, prepare the hot sauce by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Step 8
Add the hot sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar to the melted butter and stir well to combine. Adjust the heat to low and simmer for about 3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 9
Once the wings are cooked and crispy, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the wings and toss until they are fully coated.
Step 10
Serve the hot wings immediately with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese and some celery sticks on the side. Enjoy!
