Chicken Wings
Sauces (Optional)
Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the wings cook thoroughly and get crispy.
Prepare Chicken Wings
In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
Arrange the Wings
Place a wire rack on a baking sheet. Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the wire rack. This allows air to circulate around the wings and helps them become crispier.
Cooking
Bake the Wings
Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes. Flip them halfway through for even cooking. They should be golden brown and crispy.
Saucing (Optional)
Prepare Sauce (If Desired)
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the hot sauce and honey (for a sweet and spicy sauce) or your choice of BBQ sauce. Stir until combined and heated through.
Toss Wings in Sauce
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour your desired sauce over the wings and toss until they are fully coated.
Serving
Serve the Wings
Serve the chicken wings immediately, garnished with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing if desired.
