INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. (see notes below)
Prepare the chicken wings by separating them into the drumette and the flat/tip portion. Dry them well with a paper towel.
Combine the baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl. Toss this with the chicken wings.
Lightly grease a baking sheet, and place the chicken wings on the baking sheet. (You’ll likely need two baking sheets).
Place the baking sheets in the oven and cook for 30 minutes. Take the baking sheets out and flip the wings over. Return to the oven and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes.
Once the wings are done, melt the butter in a bowl in the microwave. Combine the butter and the hot sauce in a large bowl, and toss the wings in the sauce.
Serve as-is, with crumbled blue cheese on top, or with an appropriate whole fat blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping (in moderation).
NOTES
* recommend lightly greasing the baking sheet with avocado oil if you have it (as it has the highest smoke point).*If you are noticing smokiness when cooking these, it is most likely due to two factors: a) an oven that runs hot, or b) prior oven spills on the bottom of the oven causing smoke. If you notice this, turn down the oven temperature to 400-425 and cook at least the full amount of time listed, or until crispy and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees.
