Notes
Baking powder - the baking powder is optional, though it can make the wings even crispier.
Use your favorite brand of hot sauce and be sure and serve the wings with extra hot sauce for those that want to kick it up.
If the wings aren't brown enough to your liking, you can run them under the broiler for a minute or two.
