3 pounds chicken wings or drumettes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/3 cup hot sauce (such as Cholula)
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/3 cup chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)

Method

1
To make the Ranch dipping sauce, whisk together sour cream, buttermilk, mayonnaise, chives, dill, onion powder and garlic powder in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
2
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a wire rack with nonstick spray and place on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil; set aside.
3
Using paper towels, pat wings dry. In a large bowl, combine wings, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and baking powder.
4
Place wings onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes, using metal tongs to turn at halftime.
5
In a small saucepan over medium low heat, combine tomato sauce, hot sauce, honey, butter, Worcestershire, onion powder and garlic powder. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 15-20 minutes.
6
In a large bowl, combine wings and half the tomato sauce mixture. Place wings onto the prepared baking sheet and bake, turning once, until glossy and lightly caramelized, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in remaining tomato sauce mixture.
7
Serve immediately with Ranch dipping sauce.
