Ingredients
Chicken Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings split at the joints (wingtips discarded or saved for soup)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder *aluminum free if possible
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika *or smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Buffalo Sauce - Optional
- ¼ cup Franks Buffalo mild wing sauce
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Chicken Wings
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Add the garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and baking powder to a small bowl.
- Whisk to combine the seasonings.
- Place the wings on a cutting board, then cut the wings at the joint into 2 or 3 pieces. You can serve the wingette with the wingtip attached or removed.*You can discard the tip or save it for soup stock.
- Pat dry the wings dry with paper towels then place them in a large bowl and toss them with half of the seasoning mixture.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top of the pan.This will help air circulate and help the wings get crispy.
- Spray the rack with non-stick pan spray.
- Arrange the wings in single layer on the prepared wire rack.
- Sprinkle the remaining seasoning mixture on the wings.
- Place the tray on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and turn the wings over. Return the pan to the oven and continue to bake for 25 minutes.*Depending on the size of the wings you may need to bake them 5-10 minutes longer.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the wings cool for 5 minutes before serving if you're not tossing them in Buffalo sauce. If you are using sauce, there is no need to let them cool.
Buffalo Sauce
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the Franks buffalo sauce and honey.*Overheating the sauce causes it to break and become greasy.
- Whisk until well combined.
- Toss the wings with the buffalo sauce and serve with bleu cheese dressing or ranch dressing with celery sticks.
