Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 pounds chicken wing sections patted very dry
  • 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup cayenne-style hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey optional, for balance
  • Celery sticks and blue cheese dressing to serve

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed pan with foil, set a wire rack on top, and lightly oil the rack.
  2. Whisk the baking powder, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Toss the wings until lightly coated, then arrange them with space between each piece.
  3. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn the wings and bake another 20 to 25 minutes, until browned and crisp. Confirm the thickest pieces reach 165°F (74°C).
  4. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the hot sauce and honey. Toss the hot wings with just enough sauce to coat; serve the rest at the table.
