• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup hot sauce (like Frank's RedHot)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the flour mixture.
4. Drizzle the vegetable oil over the wings and toss again to ensure they are evenly coated.
5. Place the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are spaced apart.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
7. While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce by combining honey, hot sauce, and apple cider vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until well mixed and heated through.
8. Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and toss them in the sauce until fully coated.
9. Serve immediately with celery sticks and your favorite dipping sauce.
