• •1/4 cup unsalted butter
• •1 tbsp honey
• •1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper until evenly coated.

3. 3

   Arrange the seasoned wings on the wire rack in a single layer, making sure they are not touching each other.

4. 4

   Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.

5. 5

   While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the hot sauce, honey, and apple cider vinegar, mixing well. Bring to a simmer and then remove from heat.

6. 6

   Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the sauce over the top. Toss the wings until they are thoroughly coated in the sauce.

   Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce and celery sticks.
