Wings

Mild Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Wings

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the bone-in chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. In a large bowl, toss the wings with vegetable oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Bake the Wings

    Place the coated wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and cooked through.

Mild Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Make Mild Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter. Once melted, add 1 cup of hot sauce and 2 tablespoons of honey. Stir until combined and heated through. Remove from heat.

Wild Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Make Wild Sauce

    In a separate saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter. Once melted, add 1.5 cups of hot sauce, 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. Stir until combined and heated through. Remove from heat.

Serving

  1. 5

    Toss Wings in Sauce

    Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Depending on your preference, toss the wings in either the mild sauce or the wild sauce until fully coated. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauces.
