Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon White vinegar
- 8 sticks Celery sticks (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup Ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional, for dipping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet and spray it lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the wings get crispy in the oven.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Toss the chicken wings in the mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, making sure they are not touching. This helps the hot air circulate around the wings for even cooking.
Step 5
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, flipping them halfway through. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.
Step 6
While the wings are baking, prepare the hot sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the hot sauce, honey, and white vinegar until well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 7
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the wings and toss to coat them evenly.
Step 8
Serve the wings immediately with celery sticks and your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. Enjoy!
