One day ahead line a baking sheet with foil and arrange the chicken on the pan. Place in the fridge overnight or at least for a few hours to dry out the skin for more crispy wings.

Heat the oven to 250 degrees and line a new cookie sheet with foil and place a cooling rack on top. This is essential so the air circulates and crisps all sides of the chicken. Without it you'll need to turn every 30 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken, baking powder, paprika and salt together. Arrange on the cooling rack on the cookie sheet.
2 Tablespoons Baking Powder, 1 teaspoon Paprika, 1 teaspoon Salt
Bake for 30 minutes then increase the heat to 425 for an additional 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, add the butter until melted then whisk in the Franks, worcestershire, vinegar and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer.
1 Tablespoon Butter, 1/2 Cup Franks Original Red Hot Sauce, 1 Dash White Vinegar, 1 Dash Worcestershire Sauce, 1 teaspoon Dark Brown Sugar
In a small dish, whisk together the cornstarch and water then once the sauce is simmering, whisk into the sauce for 1 minute or until slightly thickened.
1 teaspoon Cornstarch, 1 teaspoon Water
Remove the wings from the oven and toss immediately in the sauce.
