Ingredients
- 2.5 lbs chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, more or less to taste
Honey Buffalo Sauce
- ⅓ cup Frank's hot sauce
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Grease wire rack with 1 tablespoon canola oil.
- IIn a large bowl, toss 2.5 lbs chicken wings with 2 tablespoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange wings on the wire rack in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t touching. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden and crispy.
- Meanwhile, prepare the honey-buffalo sauce. In a small pot over medium-low heat, bring ⅓ cup Frank's hot sauce, 2 tablespoon honey, and 2 tablespoon butter to a boil, stirring constantly to avoid burning. Cook and stir for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly (the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools).
- Once the wings are baked, allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes (this will make them release more easily from the wire rack) and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and celery sticks for a classic pairing.
Notes
- Make sure to grease wire rack well, making it easier for the wings to release after cooking.
- I don't like my wings to be overly saucy! You can always double the sauce if you want a higher sauce-to-wing ratio.
