Baked Buffalo Wings

Description
These easy-to-make hot wings are crispy without being fried. You can make the chicken wings bolder in taste with other herbs and spices before baking, while it delivers a red-hot aroma that it relishes and is great for lunch or dinner. Real fruit juice and a spice rub occasionally work for this for mixing too, but the effort, color, results, and quality are worth it.

Ingredients

 * ¾ cup all-purpose flour
 * ½ tablespoon cayenne pepper
 * ½ tablespoon garlic powder
 * ½ tablespoon salt
 * 20 chicken wings
 * ½ cup melted butter, plain only
 * ½ cup hot pepper sauce
 * 3 tablespoons black pepper, optional
 * 3 tablespoons chili powder, optional

Directions

 * 1) Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and lightly grease with cooking spray. Place the flour, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, black pepper (optional), and chili powder (optional) into a resealable plastic bag, and shake to mix.
 * 2) Add the chicken wings, seal, and toss until well coated with the flour mixture.
 * 3) Place the wings onto the prepared baking sheet and into the refrigerator. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
 * 4) Preheat oven to 400 °F. Whisk together the melted butter and hot sauce in a small bowl.
 * 5) Dip the wings into the butter mixture and place back on the baking sheet.
 * 6) Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and crispy on the outside, about 45 minutes.
 * 7) Turn the wings over halfway during cooking so they cook evenly.
 * 8) Serve hot and plain or with rice, any dip, or other appetizers, main dishes, or side dishes.
