1: Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2: In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
3: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
4: Toss the dry chicken wings in the spice mixture until they are evenly coated.
5: Drizzle the olive oil over the wings and toss again to ensure they are coated evenly.
6: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
7: Place the coated chicken wings on the parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded.
8: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
9: After the initial 30 minutes, carefully flip the chicken wings using tongs.
10: Increase the oven temperature to 450°F.
11: Continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and crispy, checking every five minutes.
12: While the wings are in the oven, prepare the sauce by mixing warm melted butter, hot honey, and Old Bay seasoning in a bowl.
13: Taste and adjust the amount of hot honey and Old Bay to your liking.
14: When the wings are done baking and crispy, remove them from the oven and let them sit for 3 minutes.
15: While the wings are still hot, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
16: Pour the hot honey butter sauce over the wings and toss to coat them evenly.
