Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup hot sauce
• 0.25 cup melted butter
• 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. If you prefer frying, prepare a deep fryer or a heavy pot with oil heated to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels to ensure they become crispy during cooking.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and baking powder.

Step 4

Toss the chicken wings in the spice mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Step 5

For baking: Place the coated wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle the wings with the vegetable oil to promote crispiness. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

For frying: Heat the oil in a deep fryer or heavy saucepan. Fry the wings in batches for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 7

In a small saucepan, combine the hot sauce, melted butter, and honey over low heat. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

Step 8

Once the wings are cooked, toss them in the prepared sauce until they are thoroughly coated.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and celery sticks, if desired. Enjoy!
