Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup hot sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot)
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (optional, for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If needed, grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil or line it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Place the chicken wings on the baking sheet in a single layer. Pat them dry with paper towels to help them crisp up during baking.
Sprinkle the wings evenly with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika for extra flavor.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the hot sauce until well combined to create your wing sauce.
Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
Serve the wings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and sides like celery sticks or blue cheese dressing. Enjoy!
