Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 cup Hot sauce (preferably Frank's RedHot)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons Taco seasoning mix
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0 Ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing (for serving)
• 0 Celery sticks (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly grease the rack with nonstick spray.

Step 2

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl.

Step 3

Season the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Drizzle the vegetable oil over the wings and toss until evenly coated.

Step 4

Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then flip the wings and bake for another 10 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the hot sauce, unsalted butter, taco seasoning mix, and honey. Stir until the butter is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared Buffalo-Taco Mac sauce over the wings. Toss until the wings are fully coated in the sauce.

Step 7

Arrange the wings on a serving platter. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side for dipping.
