📝Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Arrange the wings on the prepared rack in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch each other.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.

  5. 5

    While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce by melting the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.

  6. 6

    Stir in the hot sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and apple cider vinegar, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

  7. 7

    Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and place in a large bowl. Pour the prepared sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.

  8. 8
