Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Buffalo Sauce:
- 1/3 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with cooking spray.
- Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Bake: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared rack. Bake for 20 minutes, flip the wings, and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together hot sauce, melted butter, and honey.
- Toss and Serve: Transfer the baked wings to a large bowl, pour the sauce over them, and toss until well coated. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, pat the wings dry thoroughly before seasoning.
- Adjust the heat level of the sauce by adding more or less hot sauce.
- Leftover wings can be reheated in the oven to maintain their crispiness.
