Chicken Wings

Mild Sauce

Hot Sauce

Insane Sauce

Method

Prepare Chicken Wings

  1. 1

    Season the Wings

    In a large bowl, combine chicken wings, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss everything together until the wings are evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Bake the Wings

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the seasoned wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until wings are crispy and golden brown.

Make the Sauces

  1. 3

    Mild Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir in 1 cup of mild hot sauce and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

  2. 4

    Hot Sauce

    In another saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add 1 cup of hot sauce and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

  3. 5

    Insane Sauce

    Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan. Stir in 1 cup of insane hot sauce and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

  4. 6

    Kentucky Bourbon BBQ Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon of bourbon, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Prepare Chicken Tenders

  1. 7

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up three bowls: one with flour mixed with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of paprika; another with beaten eggs; and the third with breadcrumbs.

  2. 8

    Bread the Tenders

    Dip each chicken tender first in the flour mixture, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Place breaded tenders on a plate.

  3. 9

    Fry the Tenders

    In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add breaded chicken tenders in batches. Fry for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve

  1. 10

    Combine and Serve

    Once the wings are baked, toss them in the sauce of your choice (mild, hot, insane, or bourbon BBQ). Serve the wings alongside the chicken tenders for a delicious meal.
