Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Step 2
Using paper towels, pat the chicken wings dry to remove excess moisture. This helps them crisp up in the oven.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, leaving space between each piece for proper air circulation.
Step 5
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on them during the last 5 minutes to ensure they don’t burn.
Step 6
While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the hot sauce, honey, and white vinegar, stirring until well combined. Lower the heat and keep the sauce warm.
Step 7
Once the wings are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oven. Transfer the wings to a large mixing bowl.
Step 8
Pour the prepared sauce over the hot wings and gently toss until all the wings are fully coated.
Step 9
Serve the wings immediately with your favorite sides, such as celery sticks and blue cheese dressing. Enjoy the spicy, tangy goodness!
