Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease with cooking spray.

  3. Transfer the coated wings to the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  6. Dip the chilled wings into the butter mixture, and place them back on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip the wings and continue to cook until crispy on the outside and no longer pink in the center, about 25 more minutes.
