Preheat the oven to 250°F. Line a baking sheet with a single layer of paper towels. Arrange the chicken wings on top and layer with another layer of paper towels on top. Press to absorb any moisture and dry the chicken.
In a large ziplock bag, combine the baking powder, cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Shake to combine. Add the dried chicken, reseal, and shake again until evenly coated.
Discard the paper towels and line the baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack over the foil. Spray the rack with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the chicken wings on the rack, evenly spaced.
Bake for 30 minutes on the middle rack. Leave the baking sheet in the oven and increase the temperature to 425℉. Bake for 20 minutes.
Move the baking sheet to the upper third of the oven. Rotate the baking sheet and bake for 20 additional minutes.
During the last 5 minutes of baking combine the buffalo sauce ingredients in a large bowl. Once the wings are done baking carefully transfer the wings to sauce bowl and gently stir to combine. Serve immediately with leftover wing sauce and dressing.
