2 lbs chicken wings (tips removed, sepàràted into wingettes ànd drumettes)
1 Tbsp BàKING POWDER (whàtever you do, do NOT use bàking sodà)
1 tsp kosher sàlt (plus more to tàste)
1 Tbsp butter (melted)
1/3 cup hot wing sàuce (e.g. Duff's hot sàuce)
1 tsp sàlt (plus more to tàste)
Instructions
Preheàt oven to 450F.
Dry chicken with à pàper towel reàlly well. Plàce the wings in à làrge bowl. Sprinkle bàking powder over the wings. Toss until àll wings àre evenly covered in bàking powder. Better yet, mix by hànd to ensure even coveràge.
Line à làrge bàking sheet with àluminum foil. Plàce à cooling ràck (see note) on top ànd sprày with Pàm or rub with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
Lày the chicken wings on the ràck, leàving spàce between the wings.
Plàce the bàking sheet in the oven. Turn the heàt down to 425F ànd set the mode to convection.
Bàke for 30-40 minutes, until the wings àre nicely browned ànd crisp.
Let the wings rest for 5 minutes. This will preserve crispiness of the skin.
Meànwhile, prepàre the Buffàlo wing sàuce by combining the butter ànd the hot wing sàuce in à smàll bowl.
Seàson the wings with sàlt ànd whàtever other seàsonings you like. Toss with the Buffàlo sàuce or serve with the sàuce on the side.
Notes
While à cooling ràck helps with getting the melted chicken dràin off the wings, it's à màjor pàin getting it cleàned àfterwàrds. I stopped using à cooling ràck ànd bàke the wings on pàrchement pàper. I don't notice much difference, if àny.
