The Ultimate Game Day Buffalo Wings: Crispy and Baked

Use paper towels to pat each wing bone-dry to ensure maximum crispness.

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

Place a wire cooling rack inside a baking sheet and arrange wings in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch.

Bake at 425°F (218°C) for 25 minutes.

Carefully flip each wing to ensure the bottom side renders its fat.

Bake for another 20 minutes or until the skin is mahogany-colored and firm.

Whisk together the hot sauce, melted butter, honey, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.

Transfer hot wings to a clean bowl and toss with half of the prepared sauce.

Let the wings rest for 2 minutes to allow the glaze to penetrate the crust.

Toss the wings with the remaining sauce for a high-gloss finish.
