Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken wings split into flats and drumettes, tips removed
  • 2 tsp aluminum-free baking powder not baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp fine salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp neutral oil for rack
  • 1/3 cup cayenne hot sauce
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp honey

Method
 

  1. Pat wings very dry; toss with baking powder, salt, and pepper. Arrange on a rack over a rimmed pan; refrigerate uncovered 2 hours, included in prep time.
  2. Heat oven to 250°F. Transfer to a lightly oiled oven-safe rack over a foil-lined rimmed sheet; bake 25 minutes.
  3. Increase to 425°F; bake 40 to 50 minutes more, turning halfway, until deeply golden and thickest meat reaches at least 165°F.
  4. Warm hot sauce, butter, and honey in a small saucepan over low until butter melts; whisk smooth.
  5. Toss hot wings just to coat; serve immediately as 4 appetizer portions.
