Baked Chicken Hot Wings

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Set a wire rack inside a large-rimmed baking sheet.

Pat the wings dry, and then season with salt.

Spread out in one layer on the wire rack. Bake until cooked through and crispy, 35 to 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Remove the saucepan from the heat, then stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, and honey. Season with salt to taste.

Toss the baked chicken wings in the sauce and serve with the blue cheese dip.

Homemade Blue Cheese Dip

Stir the sour cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese, and parsley together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the wings.
