3/4 cup flour
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder (or 1 clove fresh grated)
1/2 tsp salt
1 lb chicken wings
1/4 cup melted butter
1/3 cup hot pepper sauce, such as Frank's Red Hot
Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
In a bag place the flour, cayenne pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt and shake to mix. Add the chicken wings to the bag and shake until well coated with the flour mixture. Place the wings onto the prepared baking sheet, and place into the refrigerator. Refrigerate at least 1 hour (I only did 1/2 an hour and it was fine).
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Whisk together the melted butter and hot sauce in a small bowl. Dip the wings into the hot sauce mixture, and place back on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, and crispy on the outside, about 40-45 minutes. Turn the wings over halfway during cooking so they cook evenly.
Serve with carrot and celery sticks (just like the pubs :) and ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
