Calories: 483kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Homemade Garlic Butter Sauce
- ½ cup unsalted butter divided
- 6 cloves garlic minced or grated
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 F degrees.
- Using a paper towel blot chicken wings dry. Combine baking powder, salt, and pepper in a ziploc bag or large bowl. Toss chicken wings in spice mixture to coat evenly.
- Prepare a large sheet pan by covering with foil and spraying with cooking spray. Place chicken on a sheet pan and bake 25-35 minutes turning halfway through. The chicken should reach 165 degrees and be crispy on the outside.
- Toss the wings in the garlic butter sauce and serve.
Homemade Garlic Butter Sauce
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until crispy, 2 minutes.
- Stir in the lemon juice, hot sauce, and whisk in the remaining butter.
- Season to taste with salt.
Notes
- While not required, I recommend soaking the chicken in brine for at least one hour and then drying the wings overnight on a baking sheet, uncovered, in the refrigerator.
- Store leftover chicken wings in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days or freeze in a ziptop bag for up to 2 months. Reheat on a baking sheet in a 350 F oven until warmed through and the internal temperature reaches 165 F.
- Preheat gas grill to medium-high heat
- Place chicken on grill and turn down to medium.
- Cook chicken, flipping halfway through until chicken reaches 165 degrees (about 12-14 minutes).
