Remove sauce from heat and allow to cool. Transfer sauce to an airtight container and store in refrigerator until ready to use.
• To make the wings: In a small bowl, mix together baking powder, salt, white pepper, paprika, and chipotle powder. Place wings in a large bowl, pat dry with paper towels, and sprinkle in seasoning mixture. Toss until wings are evenly coated in the seasoning. Arrange wings in a single layer on a wire rack set inside a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, leaving a little space between each wing. Place baking sheet with wings in the refrigerator for 8 hours to overnight.
