Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, split into drumettes and flats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Optional garnish: chopped parsley or green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
  3. Lay the wings out in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring space between each wing for air circulation.
  4. Bake the wings for 20 minutes, then flip each wing and bake for another 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. While the wings are baking, heat the melted butter, hot sauce, and honey in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk until smooth and heated through, then remove from heat.
  6. Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss with tongs until evenly coated.
  7. Sprinkle chopped parsley or green onions over the wings for garnish and serve immediately.
