Instructions

Pat the chicken wings dry using a paper towel and preheat your oven to 450°F.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack over it.
Mix baking powder, sea salt, and garlic powder in a bowl, then sprinkle over the chicken and toss to coat.
Arrange the coated chicken wings on the wire rack in a single layer.
Bake the wings for 25 minutes, then flip them over and bake for another 25 minutes or until they are crispy and fully cooked.
In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, Frank's hot sauce, and sugar.
Once baked, transfer the chicken wings to a bowl, drizzle the sauce over them, and toss to ensure they are evenly coated. Serve with your preferred dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra crispiness, ensure the chicken wings are thoroughly dried before seasoning.
Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing for a classic combo.
These wings can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for a quick snack.
