Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1/2 cup hot wing sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Blue cheese dressing for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top to ensure crispy wings.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a crispy exterior when baking.
- Season the wings generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, ensuring even coverage on all sides of the wings.
- Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they are not touching each other for even cooking.
- Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.
- While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce by melting butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add hot wing sauce and brown sugar, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is smooth.
- Once the wings are cooked through and crispy, remove them from the oven and immediately toss them in the prepared sauce, coating each wing thoroughly.
- Transfer the sauced wings to a serving platter and drizzle any remaining sauce over the top.
- Serve hot with blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
Tips
- Pat those wings completely dry before seasoning - moisture is the enemy of crispiness!
- Use a wire rack on your baking sheet to ensure air circulation and maximum crunch.
- Don't overcrowd the wings; give them space to crisp up evenly.
- Flip the wings halfway through cooking to guarantee golden-brown perfection on all sides.
- Make your sauce ahead of time and keep it warm for immediate coating after baking.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor experience.
- Keep extra sauce on hand for those who love an extra kick of flavor.
