Instructions

1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on it. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
2. In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder and salt (1 tsp of each per pound of wings) until evenly coated. Arrange them on the rack with a little space between each wing. Repeat with any remaining wings in batches.
3. Refrigerate the uncovered wings for at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
4. Heat the oven to 450°F (230°C) with the rack in the upper-middle position. Bake the wings for 20 minutes, flip them, then cook 15 to 30 more minutes, flipping a few more times, until crisp and golden brown.
5. Meanwhile, melt the butter (2 tbsp per pound of wings) with the hot sauce (2 tbsp per pound of wings) in a small saucepan over medium heat, whisking until combined.
6. Transfer the hot wings to a large bowl, pour over the sauce and toss to coat thoroughly. Serve right away.
