Instructions

Step 1

Scrape and push the meat down to the thick end, from top to bottom making into a ball of lollipop shape. Cut off any excess skin or meat by the knuckle end with scissors. Repeat with remaining chicken drummettes.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 425F. Line a large baking sheet with tin foil and place a large baking rack on top of it. Pat your chicken wings dry with a paper towel, and then place all of your lollipops/wings into a large bowl and add in your baking powder. Toss all the chicken in the baking powder until it's distributed evenly. Lay your chicken on the baking rack - without them touching each other - and cook in the oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, flip over and cook another 25 minutes.

Step 3

While your chicken is cooking, make your buffalo sauce: in a small 5" pot, melt your butter. Once the butter is melted, remove from heat and whisk in your hot sauce until fully combined.

Step 4

When your chicken is done cooking, put it all in a large bowl and pour the buffalo sauce on top. Toss the chicken in the sauce until coated evenly and serve immediately. I personally serve the sauce separately and individually for dipping.

Enjoy!
