- 1 tsp salt (add to taste)
Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- 3 cloves garlic (about 1 tbsp of minced garlic)

Instructions
Bake the chicken wings
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- You can skip this step if you have party-style wings.Cut the whole chicken wing into 3 parts - drumette, wingette, and wing tip. You may discard the wing tips.
- Pat the wings dry with a paper towel and add them to a large bowl. Next, add baking powder, black pepper and salt. Toss and mix them well so that they are well coated.
- Spread out the wings on a wire rack and place this rack over a foil-lined baking tray. Place the wings skin-side down. Bake it in a pre-heated oven for a total of 36 mins. Flip the wings midway after about 18 minutes.
- Lastly, broil the wings for 5 minutes to add a golden brown crispiness to the chicken wings! Divide the prepared wings into 1 or 2 bowls depending on the number of sauces you wish to make.
Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- In a small sauce pan, on medium heat, add butter and olive oil. After the butter has melted, add garlic and sauté until it is browned. Next, add in the grated parmesan, black pepper and salt. Mix this well and your sauce is ready!
- Add this garlic parmesan sauce to a bowl of baked chicken wings. Toss them well to ensure that the wings are evenly coated.
Hot Buffalo Sauce
- To the second bowl of baked chicken wings, add Franks Red Hot Buffalo sauce. Toss them well to ensure that the wings are evenly coated.
- Serve your wings with some delicious spicy mayo, your favorite dips, celery or carrot!
