Add wings and olive oil.
Toss until wings are well coated.
Bake the wings
Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
Line a baking tray with foil and place a wire rack on top.
Arrange wings in a single layer on the rack.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, turning once halfway, until golden brown and crispy.

In a small pan, melt butter.
Add hot sauce, honey, and garlic powder.
Mix well and heat for 1 minute.
Honey garlic sauce (optional)
In a small pan, add honey, soy sauce, garlic, vinegar, and butter.
Cook on low heat for 3 to 5 minutes until slightly thick.
Coat the wings
Place baked wings in a large bowl.
