Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a heat-proof wire rack inside.
Bake for 30 minutes; flip and continue to cook until crisp and golden brown, (about 20-30 minutes longer), until golden browned and crispy. If you have an internal thermometer you only have to cook to 170 degrees, to be safe but I feel going to 180-200 makes a crispier skin and dark meat does fine over cooked a little.
While wings are cooking, melt the butter in the microwave then whisk together hot sauce and melted butter. Toss wings in the sauce to evenly coat.
Serve wings immediately with blue cheese or ranch dressing and celery and carrot sticks.
