Chicken Wings

Sauce (Optional)

Method

Preparation of Chicken Wings

  1. 1

    Preparation

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

  2. 2

    Drying the Wings

    Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help them get crispy.

  3. 3

    Coating the Wings

    In a large bowl, combine baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Add the dried chicken wings to the bowl and toss until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Arranging the Wings

    Drizzle vegetable oil over the coated wings and toss again. Place the wings in a single layer on the wire rack.

Cooking the Wings

  1. 5

    Baking

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

Preparing the Sauce (Optional)

  1. 6

    Making the Sauce

    While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the hot sauce and honey until well combined. Heat for 5-7 minutes until warmed through.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serving the Wings

    Once the wings are crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Toss them in the prepared sauce if desired, or serve them with sauce on the side.
