Ingredients:

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
5. While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the hot sauce, white vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
6. Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and toss them in the sauce until fully coated.
7. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and celery sticks.
