Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup hot sauce (soy-free, like Frank’s RedHot)
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon honey

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.

Step 2

Place the chicken wings in a large mixing bowl and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Sprinkle the baking powder mixture over the chicken wings, add the olive oil, and toss until the wings are coated evenly.

Step 5

Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure they aren't touching, and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.

Step 6

While the wings are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.

Step 7

Once the butter is melted, add the hot sauce, white vinegar, cayenne pepper, and honey. Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth.

Step 8

Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.

Step 9

Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until the wings are evenly coated.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and celery sticks if desired.
