Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Wings
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Season the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Bake the Wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crisp, flipping once halfway through.
Step 2: Make the Buffalo Peri Peri Sauce
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the Peri Peri sauce, buffalo sauce, butter, apple cider vinegar, honey (if using), and minced garlic. Stir until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well combined.
- Simmer the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.
Step 3: Toss the Wings in Sauce
- Coat the Wings: Once the wings are cooked and still hot, place them in a large bowl. Pour the Buffalo Peri Peri sauce over the wings and toss until they are well coated with the sauce.
Step 4: Serve
- Serve the wings hot, accompanied by celery sticks, carrot sticks, and your choice of blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.
