Oven

Arrange chicken wings on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Use a fan to blow air over the wings for about 1 hour to dry out the skin.

In a large bowl, create a slurry by mixing together oil, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.

Add the dried chicken wings to the bowl with the slurry and toss until evenly coated. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper.

Place the seasoned wings back onto the wire rack in a single layer.

Bake in a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven for 50 minutes.

While the wings bake, prepare the sauce. In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil and sliced garlic. Cook until fragrant.

Add the buffalo sauce and honey to the skillet. Stir to combine.

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter and whisk continuously until the butter is melted and the sauce is emulsified.

Once the wings are done baking, add them directly to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat all the wings evenly.

Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing for dipping.
