Hot Honey Buffalo Wings

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt ((I use kosher salt or sea salt))
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper ((use less or omit entirely))
• 2 pounds chicken wing sections ((see notes))
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup cayenne pepper hot sauce ((see notes))
• 4 tablespoons salted butter (melted)

Instructions

1. 1

   Read Instructions : The seasoned wings need to chill in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking. This helps them get really crispy!

2. 2

   In a large Ziplock bag, add the flour, cornstarch, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Shake it up to combine everything together.

3. 3

   Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel and place them inside the bag and seal the bag securely. Shake the bag until all the wings are coated well and evenly.

4. 4

   Line a rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack (preferred) or parchment paper. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Place the wings in the fridge for 30 minutes.

5. 5

   Preheat the oven to 400℉.

6. 6

   Remove the wings from the fridge and lightly spray the wings with nonstick cooking spray. Bake the wings for 20 minutes. Flip the wings over and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until crispy and cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165℉.

7. 7

   Mix the honey, hot sauce, and melted butter in a large bowl. Toss the crispy baked chicken wings in the sauce until coated well. Serve & enjoy!
