Buffalo Chicken Wings

Ingredients:

**For the Wings:**
– 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
– Salt and pepper to taste

**For the Buffalo Sauce:**
– 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)

– 1 tablespoon white vinegar
– 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt to taste

– Arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack.

2. **Bake the Wings:**
– Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the wings are crispy and golden brown. Flip the wings halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness.
