Season the wings with the salt, pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika, then dredge in the flour.
Put the butter in a baking pan and melt in a preheated 425 F oven.
Place the chicken wings, skin side down, in the butter and bake for 25 minutes.
Remove the baking pan, turn the wings, then return to the oven for 15-20 minutes until brown and crusty.
