Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free is best)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup buffalo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare the Wings: Pat dry the chicken wings with paper towels to ensure they get crispy.
  3. Season the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, place a wire rack on top, and arrange the wings in a single layer.
  5. Bake: Bake the wings for about 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through.
  6. Prepare the Sauce: While the wings are baking, mix the buffalo sauce and melted butter in a bowl.
  7. Toss in Sauce: Once the wings are baked, remove from the oven and toss them in the sauce mixture.
  8. Serve: Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

For best results, ensure wings are thoroughly dried before seasoning. Use aluminum-free baking powder for the crispest skin and monitor doneness with a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
