For the Chicken Wings

Method

Preparing the Chicken Wings

  1. 1

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

  2. 2

    Prepare Wing Coating

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and olive oil. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Arrange Wings

    Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Make sure they are not touching each other.

  4. 4

    Bake Wings

    Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

Preparing the Sauces

  1. 5

    Buffalo Sauce

    For the buffalo sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, and honey. Mix well and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

  2. 6

    Cherry BBQ Sauce

    For the cherry BBQ sauce, combine the cherry preserves, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring until smooth. Let it simmer for 10 minutes.

Serving

  1. 7

    Toss in Sauce

    Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven. Toss them in your choice of buffalo sauce or cherry BBQ sauce before serving.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve hot with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on the side, if desired.
