Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
• 2 tablespoons Baking powder (not baking soda)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Hot sauce (like Frank's RedHot)
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0 Optional: Ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings completely dry using paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving crispy skin.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with baking powder and salt until they are evenly coated. The baking powder helps create a wonderfully crispy texture.

Step 4

Place the coated wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Ensure there is some space between the wings for even cooking.

Step 5

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, flip the wings and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

While the wings are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the hot sauce and garlic powder until well combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 7

Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated.

Step 8

Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping, if desired. Enjoy!
