Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds chicken wings or drumettes
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup bottled cayenne hot sauce
- 1/2 cup butter
Instructions
- Step: Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Step: Rinse chicken wings and trim any excess skin. Do not remove the skin or you will lose the crispiness. Pat chicken dry.
- Step: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and seasonings. Add chicken and coat with the flour mixture. Shake off excess.
- Step: Prepare a large cookie sheet by covering with foil and spraying with cooking spray.
- Step: Arrange chicken on the cookie sheet, at least an inch apart.
- Step: Bake for 30-35 minutes, turning once after about 20 minutes.
- Step: While the chicken is cooking, make the sauce. Add about a 1/2 cup of the bottled cayenne hot sauce and a stick of butter to a small saucepan. Heat on low and stir until butter is melted and sauce begins to bubble.
- Step: Transfer wings into a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss to coat.
- Step: Serve with celery and carrot sticks and a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Notes
I typically do a 1/1 ratio of butter to hot sauce. If you want more heat, add less butter. For less heat, add less hot sauce.
