Preheat the oven to 356°F (180°C)
Line two baking trays with baking paper and set aside.
In a medium/large bowl, mix in the onion powder, garlic powder, ghost pepper powder, salt, pepper and rice flour.
Toss the chicken through the seasoned flour until the wings are fully coated.
Place on the lined trays and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden crispy.

Continue to brush until all the butter sauce has been applied.
