Wings

Method

Preparation of Wings

  1. 1

    Season the Wings

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and olive oil. Toss well to ensure all wings are evenly coated with the seasoning.

  2. 2

    Marinate

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the wings marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.

Cooking the Wings

  1. 3

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  2. 4

    Bake the Wings

    Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until wings are crispy and cooked through.

Preparation of Sauce

  1. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, combine hot sauce, unsalted butter, honey, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic. Heat over medium heat until the butter has melted and the sauce is smooth. Stir well to combine.

  2. 6

    Coat the Wings

    Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and place them in a large bowl. Pour the hot sauce mixture over the wings and toss until they are well coated.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter and enjoy hot. They pair well with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing.
