Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 1/2 cup hot sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature will help achieve crispy wings while ensuring they cook through evenly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the hot sauce, honey, and soy sauce. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well blended and the honey is fully dissolved.
- Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensuring the wings are dry will help them crisp up in the oven.
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the sauce mixture. Toss the wings in the sauce until they are evenly coated. Make sure each wing is well covered for maximum flavor.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack on top. This will allow air to circulate around the wings, helping them to become crispy.
- Arrange the coated chicken wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Make sure there is space between each wing to ensure even cooking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the wings for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, remove the wings from the oven and carefully flip them over using tongs. This helps to ensure both sides get crispy and evenly cooked.
- Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute for a more flavorful bite.
- Serve the Gold Fever Chicken Wings hot, garnished with your choice of celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing for dipping.
Tips
- Pat Those Wings Dry: The secret to crispy wings is moisture removal. Use paper towels to thoroughly dry the chicken wings before coating them in sauce.
- Use a Wire Rack: Placing wings on a wire rack allows hot air to circulate, ensuring maximum crispiness on all sides.
- Don't Overcrowd: Leave space between wings on the baking sheet to help them crisp up evenly and prevent steaming.
- Flip Halfway: Turning the wings midway through cooking ensures a uniform golden-brown color and crisp texture.
- Let Them Rest: Allow wings to rest for a few minutes after cooking to help redistribute juices and enhance flavor.
- Customize Your Heat: Adjust the hot sauce quantity to make the wings milder or spicier according to your preference.
- Serve Immediately: These wings are best enjoyed hot and fresh out of the oven for maximum crispiness and flavor.
