# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F and position a wire rack over a baking sheet. In a large bowl, toss chicken wings with vegetable oil, then season evenly with garlic powder, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Arrange wings on the prepared rack.
02 -
Bake wings for 50 to 60 minutes, turning them halfway through the baking time, until the skin is golden and crispy.
03 -
In a small saucepan, combine hot sauce and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then add butter and cook, stirring, until melted and slightly thickened, approximately 2 minutes.
04 -
Transfer the baked wings to a mixing bowl. Pour the Buffalo sauce over the wings and toss to coat thoroughly. Return the wings to the wire rack and broil on low for about 3 minutes, watching carefully until the sauce caramelizes.

Serve wings immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing alongside carrot and celery sticks.
# Tips:
01 -
For extra crispiness, place wings on a wire rack to allow air circulation beneath during baking.
02 -
Wings can be prepared up to three days in advance and reheated in a 400°F oven for 10-15 minutes before saucing.
