Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup Frank's RedHot sauce
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- 1 as needed vegetable oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and spray it with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step is crucial to getting crispy wings.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, making sure they are not touching each other to ensure even cooking.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. Flip the wings over and bake for an additional 25 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine Frank's RedHot sauce, melted butter, garlic powder, and honey (if using). Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is smooth and well combined.
Step 7
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the prepared sauce over the wings and toss until they are fully coated.
Step 8
Serve the wings hot, with your favorite dipping sauces and celery or carrot sticks on the side.
