Line a large rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Set a wire rack on top. Dry your chicken wings carefully, one by one with paper towels, season with salt and set without touching on top of the rimmed baking sheet.
Refrigerate overnight.
This step will help dry the surface of the wings which will result in crispy skin when baked. If you are short on time, and skip this step, or refrigerate for only couple of house, they will still be delicious however, not as crispy.
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Set your racks to the upper third of the oven. That's where it gets really hot and your food gets extra crispy.
Bake your wings in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip them and place back into the oven for another 20 minutes. After these 40 minutes they should be mostly done. However, if need be, bake for another 5-10 minutes, tossing until the skin is crisped up.
40 minutes should be ideal, and up to 50 minutes will work, but do not go much past that to avoid drying your wings out.
In the meantime, prepare the buffalo sauce. Place butter, hot sauce and optional honey into a large bowl and whisk to combine well.
Once the wings are done, remove from the oven and add to the bowl with the sauce. Toss to combine and serve immediately.
