Ingredients with Measurements:
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper

- 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
Special equipment needed:
- Baking sheet
- Wire rack
- Large mixing bowl

Step-by-step instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
