Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings

Here are the baked wings with Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Sauce.
The recipe on the bottle says: Bake wings at 500 F for 20 min then toss wings with this sauce.
I made some changes, I added some seasoning and bake at lower temperature for longer time.
Super easy.
Ingredients:

2 lb chicken wings, cut at the joint (discard the wingtips or save for stock)
1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot Wings Sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions:
