Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken wings (split into drumettes and flats)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (NOT baking soda)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce (or BBQ sauce, honey garlic, etc.)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or place a wire rack over the sheet.
  • Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they crisp up.
  • In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  • Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet or wire rack.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
  • While baking, mix the buffalo sauce, melted butter, and honey (if using) in a small bowl.
  • Once the wings are done, toss them in the sauce or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
  • Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or extra sauce if desired. Enjoy!
