Wings and Sauce

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Wings

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve crispiness.

  2. 2

    Season the Wings

    In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Cook the Wings

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Hot Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the hot sauce and honey (if using for mild sauce). Simmer for 2-3 minutes until well combined.

  5. 5

    Toss the Wings in Sauce

    Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the hot sauce over them. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the hot wings immediately with celery sticks and your choice of dipping sauce.
