Ingredients

⅛ - nonstick cooking spray
2 pound - chicken wings
2 Tbsps - baking powder
½ teaspoon - salt
1 Tablespoon - canola oil
2 Tablespoon - butter
¼ teaspoon - garlic powder
¼ Cup - prepared buffalo wing sauce

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a roasting rack on top. Cover the rack with another sheet of foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Use a knife to poke holes all over the foil.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Place the chicken wings in a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Sprinkle in the salt and baking powder. Seal the bag and shake to evenly coat the wings.
Drizzle the canola oil into the bag. Seal the bag and shake once more to coat the chicken wings in oil.
Arrange the chicken wings on the foil-covered roasting rack.
Bake the chicken wings on middle rack of oven until browned and crispy, 45-50 minutes.
Check to see that chicken wings are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
Place the melted butter, buffalo sauce, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl. Whisk to combine.
Transfer the chicken wings to the mixing bowl. Toss to evenly coat wings in sauce.
Plate and serve immediately.
