Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, toss chicken wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and olive oil until evenly coated.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, making sure they are not touching.
- Bake for 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, then stir in the hot sauce until combined.
- Toss the baked wings in the hot sauce mixture until evenly coated and glossy.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Pat the wings very dry before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Do not substitute baking soda for baking powder.
- Toss wings in sauce just before serving to maintain their crisp texture.
- For extra crispy skin, let the wings rest uncovered in the refrigerator for 1 hour before baking.
