  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Trim any excess fat from the wings.
  3. Pat the wings dry with paper towels.
  4. Lightly coat two rimmed sheet pans with nonstick cooking spray.
  5. Arrange the wings skin-side up in a single layer, without touching, across both pans.
  6. Wash your hands, the sink, and any utensils that touched the raw wings with hot soapy water.
  7. Bake the wings for 20 minutes.
  8. Meanwhile, whisk together the ketchup, vinegar, and 1½ teaspoons of the ground red pepper (cayenne) in a small bowl.
  9. Taste the sauce and whisk in more cayenne, up to 1¼ tablespoons total, for a hotter buffalo sauce.
  10. After 20 minutes, remove the wings from the oven.
  11. Using tongs, dip each wing in the sauce to coat it well.
  12. Return the sauced wings, skin-side up, to the sheet pans.
  13. Discard any leftover sauce.
  14. Wash your hands and the sauce bowl before handling anything else.
  15. Bake for an additional 20 minutes (40 minutes total), until an instant-read thermometer inserted into a thick piece reads 165°F or higher.
  16. Let the wings rest for 3 minutes before serving.
  17. Serve immediately while hot.
