Ingredients
For the Wings:
2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon baking powder (for extra crispy wings)
Vegetable oil, for frying
For the Sauce:
1/2 cup Frank's RedHot sauce (or your favorite hot sauce)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
For Serving:
Celery sticks
Carrot sticks
Blue cheese or ranch dressing
Instructions
Prepare the Wings:

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder. Add the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes to render some of the fat and start the crisping process.
Increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and bake for an additional 40-50 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Prepare the Sauce:

While the wings are baking, prepare the Buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the Frank's RedHot sauce, melted butter, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper (if using), and garlic powder. Stir until well combined and heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Fry the Wings (Optional):

For extra crispy wings, you can deep-fry them after baking. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C). Fry the wings in batches for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and extra crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Toss the Wings:

Place the baked (or fried) wings in a large bowl. Pour the prepared Buffalo sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
Serve:

Transfer the wings to a serving platter. Serve immediately with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and your choice of blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.
