Classic Hot Wings image

We made these for game day, and they turned out so well. So I'm posting the recipe so it's available when we decide to make these again in the future. The basic recipe has just a little bit of heat, but you can boost the level of heat that you want by using a spicier hot sauce and/or adding a pinch or two of chili powder in the...

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 14

CHICKEN WINGS
3 lb chicken wings
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper (i used lemon pepper, but black pepper is standard)
1/2 to 1 tsp cayenne pepper or chili pepper (optional - if you want extra "heat)
SAUCE
1/4 cup hot sauce (i used franks)
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 Tbsp honey
FOR SERVING
ranch dip (prepared, from a jar)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400°. Spray a wire rack with non-stick cooking spray. Place the wire rack inside a foil-lined baking sheet; set aside.
  • 2. Place wings in a gallon-size zip-lock plastic bag. Pour the olive oil over the wings, and seal bag. Toss the chicken in the oil until all pieces are well coated.
  • 3. Mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and cayenne/chili pepper (if using). Sprinkle seasoning mix over the chicken pieces, and seal bag. Toss chicken until evenly coated with the seasoning mix.
  • 4. Place chicken on wire rack, and place baking sheet in oven and bake wings for 30 minutes.
  • 5. While wings are baking, prepare sauce by heating the hot sauce, butter and honey in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until butter melts, about 3 minutes.
  • 6. After 30 minutes baking time, brush half of the sauce over all sides of the wings (brush one side, flip wings and brush other side). Continue to bake another 30 minutes or until sauce begins to caramelize and skin is just slightly charred in spots. (During the last few minutes, you can brush some of the pan sauce over the wings, and then broil the wings for the last 3 or 4 minutes if you want more charring.)
  • 7. Remove baking sheet from oven, brush remaining sauce over wings (or alternatively, you can place wings and sauce in a bowl, and toss until wings are thoroughly coated). Serve immediately with prepared ranch dip, for dipping.

These wings were a huge hit at my Super Bowl party! They were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I used a little extra buffalo sauce and they were perfect. Will definitely be making these again.
