Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lbs chicken wings, split at joints, tips removed
  • 1 1/2 tbsp baking powder (not baking soda)
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
  • 1/4 cup sriracha or gochujang
  • Celery sticks
  • Carrot sticks
  • Cucumber slices
  • Assorted dipping sauces: ranch, blue cheese, chipotle mayo, or favorite store-bought dips
  • Fresh herbs: parsley, chives, or green onions
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) or air fryer to 400°F (205°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne. Toss wings in the mixture until evenly coated.
  3. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and arrange wings in a single layer, skin side up. If no rack, use parchment and flip halfway.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes, flip wings, then bake another 15–20 minutes until golden and crispy (total 35–40 minutes). For air fryer: cook in batches at 400°F for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway.
  5. While wings bake, prepare sauces: For honey-garlic, simmer honey, soy sauce, and garlic in a saucepan for 2–3 minutes. For lemon pepper, melt butter and whisk in lemon juice, zest, and pepper. Warm buffalo, BBQ, or sriracha in bowls.
  6. Divide wings into groups for different flavors or leave some plain. Toss each group in its sauce of choice. For extra sticky wings, return sauced wings to oven for 5 minutes.
  7. On a serving board, arrange wings by flavor. Fill gaps with celery, carrots, and cucumber. Add bowls of dips and garnish with herbs and lemon wedges.
  8. Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy!

Notes

Pat wings very dry for best crispiness. Use aluminum-free baking powder. Toss wings in sauce just before serving to keep them crunchy. For gluten-free, use gluten-free baking powder and tamari. For dairy-free, use olive oil or vegan butter in sauces. Batch cook wings and keep warm in a low oven if needed. Leftovers keep 3 days in the fridge; reheat in oven or air fryer for best texture.
