Ingredients
- 12 whole chicken wings
- 3 ounces unsalted butter
- 1 small clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup hot sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Directions
Place a 6-quart saucepan with a steamer basket and 1-inch of water in the bottom, over high heat, cover and bring to a boil.
Remove the tips of the wings and discard or save for making stock. Using kitchen shears, or a knife, separate the wings at the joint. Place the wings into the steamer basket, cover, reduce the heat to medium and steam for 10 minutes. Remove the wings from the basket and carefully pat dry. Lay the wings out on a cooling rack set in a half sheet pan lined with paper towels and place in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Replace the paper towels with parchment paper. Roast on the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes. Turn the wings over and cook another 20 minutes or until meat is cooked through and the skin is golden brown.
While the chicken is roasting, melt the butter in a small bowl along with the garlic. Pour this along with hot sauce and salt into a bowl large enough to hold all of the chicken and stir to combine.
Remove the wings from the oven and transfer to the bowl and toss with the sauce. Serve warm.

Love these wings!! I made them for both the NFC Championship game and again for the Super Bowl. My fried-food-loving husband was skeptical about being able to obtain a crispy, well-cooked wing without frying....but he loved them!!!

Well that did it. I had them eating out of my hands, err, bowl. Dang those were good. Only change I made was added a little vinegar to the sauce. Of all the food served at the Giants Super Bowl party the wings were the most talked about. Thanks Alton!

Made this recipe for Super Bowl Sunday, along with Alton's kicked-up Guacamole. BOTH were winners, and so were the Giants ! My 11 yr old son ate half of the wings himself. Thank heavens he doesn't like guacamole ! I will say that I kicked up the hot sauce ratio considerably over Alton's......I used Frank's Buffalo Hot Sauce , and it was good stuff. Experiment on your own. You can taste test the sauce before you mix with the wings, and adjust as necessary. The steaming is an important step, it gets the wings really moist and partially done before you roast. Great recipe, just double it, baby !!!
