Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Pat dry 2 pounds of chicken wings with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2: Toss the wings with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper in a large bowl until evenly coated.
Step 3: Arrange the wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet, spacing them out to allow air circulation. Roast for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crisp and golden.
Step 4: While the wings roast, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in 1/2 cup of hot sauce and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder until smooth and fragrant.
Step 5: When the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the buffalo sauce over them. Toss gently to coat each wing evenly.
Step 6: Serve immediately with 1 cup of celery sticks and 1/2 cup of blue cheese dressing for dipping.
