Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil. Pat dry 2 lbs chicken wings with paper towels.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, toss wings with 1 tbsp baking powder and 1 tsp salt until evenly coated. This will help crisp the skin.
  3. Step 3: Arrange wings on the baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway, until skin is browned and crispy.
  4. Step 4: While wings bake, melt 4 tbsp unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in 1/3 cup hot sauce, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until smooth and heated through.
  5. Step 5: When wings are done, transfer them to a clean bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss gently to coat every piece.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing if desired.
