Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 2 teaspoons salt (the amount of salt is 1 tsp per pound of chicken)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder Be sure to use aluminum free baking POWDER, not baking soda! Use 1 tsp of baking powder per pound of chicken.
For the Buffalo Sauce
- 1/3 cup butter unsalted
- 1/2 cup hot sauce
For Honey Buffalo Sauce
- 1/3 cup butter unsalted
- 1/2 cup hot sauce
- 2/3 cup honey
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup (optional), then fit baking sheet with a rack. Spray rack with cooking spray to keep chicken from sticking.
- Pat chicken wings dry with a paper towel. Add to a large bowl and toss with the salt and baking powder until fully coated.
- Arrange wings on the rack, allowing space between each wing for heat circulation.
- Bake wings for 20 minutes. Flip wings and return to the oven for an additional 15-30 minutes, until wings are cooked through and have reached your desired crispiness.
- While wings are baking, make the sauce.
Cup of Yum

- To make the honey buffalo sauce, melt butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. Add the other ingredients, whisk until fully combined.
- When wings are done, transfer to a large bowl and toss with the sauce until fully coated. Serve right away.
Notes
- *As mentioned before, it is very important that you use baking powder and not baking soda. Also, be sure your baking powder is aluminum free, or it may give the wings an unpleasant taste.
