chicken wings

🥗Healthier: chicken drumsticks

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Drumsticks and thighs are often less expensive and still provide great flavor.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Almond flour is lower in carbs, while cornstarch is often cheaper and gluten-free.

hot sauce

🥗Healthier: sriracha

💰Cheaper: homemade hot sauce

Sriracha offers a different flavor profile, while homemade can be more cost-effective.

Separate chicken wings into drumettes and flats by running a knife between the skin and cutting through the joint, discarding the tips.

Ensure the chicken skin is dry before seasoning.

In a bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of baking powder, salt, and a little garlic powder.

Toss the wings in the seasoning mixture until evenly coated.

Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Bake the wings at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 to 50 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even browning.

After about 10 minutes, check for browning on the wings to ensure they are cooking properly.

Once cooked, sauce the wings with buffalo sauce or hoisin sauce, if desired.
