I start by patting the wings dry with paper towels. This helps them get crispy. Then I toss them with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and cayenne.

I place the wings on a wire rack over a baking sheet. I bake them at 425°F for about 30 minutes. I flip them halfway so they cook evenly.

While the wings bake, I melt butter in a saucepan. I stir in hot sauce and honey. I let it simmer for a minute until smooth and glossy.

I remove the wings from the oven and toss them in the warm sauce. I make sure every wing is coated well. Then they are ready to serve hot.
