Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons low-fat unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup hot sauce (like Frank's RedHot)
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 0 for serving celery sticks
• 0 for serving carrot sticks
• 0 for dipping low-fat ranch dressing

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will allow the fat to drain off the wings as they cook.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, cayenne pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This will help them crisp up in the oven.

Step 4

Add the wings to the bowl with the spice mixture, tossing until the wings are completely coated.

Step 5

Place the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 6

After 20 minutes, flip the wings and continue to bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. Melt the low-fat unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in the hot sauce, honey, and white vinegar. Whisk together until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat.

Step 8

Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Step 9

Toss the wings in the buffalo sauce until they are evenly coated.

Step 10

Serve the wings immediately with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and low-fat ranch dressing on the side.
