Place wings on a wire rack, skin up and cook for 50-60 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking process, until skin is crispy.
While baking- mix the hot sauce with the butter and honey in a saucepan on low/medium setting until all incorporated and butter melted.
Once baked and skin crispy, remove wings from the oven and coat the wings evenly with sauce mixture using a basting brush.
Turn the oven on to medium broil setting. Return wings to oven, on middle oven rack and broil for approximately 3 minutes (watch for sauce on wings bubbling and light caramelization at the edges of the wings).Watch carefully, so as not to burn.
