1
Clean and Dry
Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
2
Season Wings
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

3
Bake or Fry
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) if baking. Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy. Alternatively, heat oil in a deep fryer and fry the wings until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes.
4
Prepare Buffalo Sauce
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, and honey. Mix until well combined and heated through.
5
Toss Wings in Sauce
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the Buffalo sauce over them. Toss until the wings are fully coated.

6
Optional BBQ Glaze
For those who prefer BBQ wings, toss the cooked wings in barbecue sauce instead of Buffalo sauce.
7
Serve
Serve the wings hot with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on the side.
