Ingredients

  • 2.5-3 pounds trimmed chicken wings (often called party wings)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 5 ounces cayenne pepper sauce (Frank's RedHot Original)
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Set a baking rack on a large rimmed baking sheet. Spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Use paper towels to thoroughly squeeze and dry every single wing. The drier the wings are, the crispier they will get.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the wings to the bowl and toss to coat. Lay the wings on the baking rack, making sure they do not touch.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes. Then use tongs to flip the wings. Bake another 15-20 until very brown and crispy.
  5. Meanwhile, set a small saucepot over medium heat. Add the cayenne pepper sauce, butter, and honey. Once the butter has fully melted, whisk into a smooth sauce, then turn off the heat.
  6. Once the chicken wings come out of the oven, move them to a large bowl and pour the hot wing sauce over the top. Toss to coat. Serve warm!

Notes

  • Serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing!
