Instructions

For the Wings:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire roasting rack on top. Spray the rack with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder. Toss to coat evenly.
Place wings on the prepared rack in a single layer. Bake for 11 minutes, then flip with tongs.
Bake for another 11 minutes. For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

For the Hot Honey Sauce:

In a small saucepan, combine olive oil, butter, honey, lemon juice, hot sauce, ketchup (if using), garlic powder, chili flakes, and cayenne pepper.
Heat on low for 2-3 minutes, stirring until well blended.

To Assemble:

Place baked wings in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over them and toss until evenly coated.
Serve immediately.
