1 Video | Photo: Classic Hot Wings Recipe
Ingredients
- Canola oil, for frying
- 24 chicken wing parts (12 wings separated into 2 pieces)
- One 12-ounce bottle cayenne hot pepper sauce, such as Frank's
- 1 stick butter
- Several dashes Worcestershire sauce
- Several dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
- Blue cheese dip, for serving
- Celery sticks, for serving
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Heat 3 inches of canola oil in a heavy pot to 375 degrees F.
Add half the chicken wing parts to the oil and fry them until they're golden brown and fully cooked, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the other half of the wing parts.
In a saucepan, heat the cayenne sauce and butter over medium-low heat. Add the Worcestershire and hot sauce. Let it bubble up, and then turn off the heat.
Place the wings in an ovenproof dish and pour the hot sauce over the top. Toss to coat, and then bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
Serve with blue cheese dip, celery sticks... and your favorite cold, fizzy beverage.

I gave only 3 stars because this recipe should have come with a SUPER HOT warning and did not. After all, the base of this is cayenne sauce! I don't like wings, but I decided to try this for my teenage son and his buddy. As always, I altered the recipe a little. In my version I added 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp. chili powder, 3 squirts of honey and about 10 springs of cilantro (finely chopped. I had purchased Frank's Extra Hot (cayenne sauce. Three pounds of chicken wings made about 30 wing pieces ( a little over this recipe, but there was plenty of sauce I fried them in about 1/4 inch of standard vegetable oil versus deeper canola. In a nut shell, these wings were OFFENSIVELY HOT! My poor boys' eyes watered and nose ran and they turned red in the face. I'm going to try again with a milder sauce as it was almost painful for the boys to eat and that just doesn't work for a memorable dish [unless you want to remember that pain LOL]

I tried this. It was awesome. I tried the chicken both baked and fried. Both were great. I made the recipe as posted. Summer is coming, I can't wait to try this out on the rest of the family.
