Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create a spice mixture.
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them thoroughly until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the coated chicken wings in a single layer.
- Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce by mixing the hot sauce, melted butter, and lemon juice in a separate bowl.
- Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and toss them in the hot sauce mixture until well coated.
- Return the sauced wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize slightly.
- Serve the wings hot, garnished with fresh parsley or celery sticks, and enjoy!
