Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, party cut
  • 1 tbsp aluminum-free baking powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ⅓ cup melted unsalted butter
  • ½ cup hot sauce
  • 1 tsp honey

Instructions:

  1. Pat every single wing bone dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the dried wings with baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  3. Space the wings evenly on an oven safe wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
  4. Bake at 425°F (218°C) for 45 minutes.
  5. Flip the wings at the 22 minute mark until you see the skin beginning to blister and brown.
  6. Remove from oven and let the wings rest for 3-5 minutes to set the crust.
  7. Melt the butter in a small pan or microwave.
  8. Mix the melted butter, hot sauce, and honey in a clean bowl.
  9. Transfer wings to the bowl and toss until fully coated.
