Method

Preparing the Chicken Wings

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Wings

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

  3. 3

    Arrange the Wings

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

  4. 4

    Bake the Wings

    Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the wings are crispy and golden brown. Flip the wings halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.

Making the Sauce

  1. 5

    Prepare the Hot Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the hot sauce, honey, and soy sauce. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

  2. 6

    Prepare the BBQ Sauce

    If you prefer BBQ sauce, simply pour the BBQ sauce into a bowl and set it aside for serving.

Serving

  1. 7

    Toss the Wings

    Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven. If using the hot sauce, toss the wings in the sauce until well coated. If using BBQ sauce, serve the wings with BBQ sauce on the side.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the wings hot with your choice of dipping sauces and enjoy!
