Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 1 tbsp Baking powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Frank's RedHot sauce
- 1 tbsp Honey (optional for added sweetness)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to elevate the wings for even crisping.
Step 2
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This is key to achieving crispy skin when baking.
Step 3
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
Step 4
Place the seasoned wings on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure they do not touch each other for optimal airflow.
Step 5
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 6
While the wings are baking, prepare the Buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, then stir in Frank's RedHot sauce and honey if desired. Warm the mixture until it’s well combined and heated through.
Step 7
Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes. Transfer the wings to a large bowl, pour the Buffalo sauce over the wings, and toss until evenly coated.
Step 8
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce (like ranch or blue cheese) and celery or carrot sticks. Enjoy!
