Preparation
Pat the wings thoroughly dry. Mix the baking powder and salt and coat the wings evenly. Space them on a rack over a rimmed baking tray. Refrigerate uncovered for 8 h at no more than 4 °C, protected from other food and with no risk of drips onto ready-to-eat products.

Preheat a conventional oven to 230 °C. Roast the wings on their rack for 20 min. Turn and cook for up to about 30 min more, turning again near the end, until the skin is deeply golden and crisp. Check for 75 °C in the centre for 30 s, without touching bone with the probe. Continue if needed, keeping the wings spaced out.

While the wings cook, melt the butter with the hot sauce over low heat and whisk together. Trim and wash the celery, weigh the stated amount and cut into sticks. Put the cooked wings in a clean large bowl, add all the warm sauce and toss. Serve with the celery and blue cheese dressing.
