Ingredients
Chicken wings, skin-on- 12 to 16
For marination
All-purpose flour- ½ cup
Paprika- 1 tsp
Cayenne pepper or chili powder- ½ tsp
Salt- ½ tsp
For making the hot sauce
Butter- ¼ cup
Hot sauce- ¼ cup
Ground black pepper- ¼ tsp
Garlic powder- ¼ tsp
Instructions
Rinse the chicken wings & pat dry well with paper towel.
In a bowl, combine all-purpose flour, paprika, cayenne pepper or chili powder and salt.
Dredge the wings in the flour mix, coat evenly & place in a large bowl.
Cover the bowl with a cling wrap and keep it in the refrigerator.
Let marinate for an hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 F or 175 C.
Grease a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Or line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the marinated chicken wings on the baking sheet and spray the wings with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake for 45 minutes at 350 F.
After 45 minutes of baking, increase the oven temperature to 375 F or 190 C.
Take the wings out of the oven and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake the wings again at 375 F for 10 minutes, this will make the wings crispy.
Making the sauce
Make the sauce while the wings are baking.
Heat a saucepan over low heat, add the butter, hot sauce, ground pepper and garlic powder, combine well.
Let the butter melt & keep stirring the sauce.
Remove the pan from the heat.
After taking the wings out of the oven, immediately pour the sauce over the baked crispy chicken wings, toss them in the sauce.
Enjoy the wings right away along with hot sauce on the side. Dip the wings in hot sauce if you want it to be spicier.
Notes
If you can't handle much spice, reduce the amount of hot sauce accordingly. Health freaks: you could reduce the amount of butter used according to your needs and use fat-free cooking spray.
