Ingredients

For the wings:

  • 1 kg (2.2 lbs) chicken wings
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

For the spicy sauce:

  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot or your favorite)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional for a touch of sweetness)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wings
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • Rinse the chicken wings and pat them dry with paper towels.
  • In a large bowl, mix the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and ground cumin.
  • Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them to ensure they are well coated with the spice mix.
  • Place the wings on a baking tray with a wire rack (for crispiness) and drizzle a bit of vegetable oil over them.
  1. Bake the Wings
  • Bake the wings in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure even cooking and a golden, crispy finish.
  1. Make the Spicy Sauce
  • While the wings are baking, combine the hot sauce, melted butter, honey (if using), apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic in a small bowl.
  • Heat the mixture over low heat in a small saucepan until all ingredients are well combined and heated through.
  1. Coat the Wings
  • Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and place them in a large bowl.
  • Pour the spicy sauce over the wings and toss them until they are thoroughly coated.
  1. Serve
  • Serve the spicy chicken wings hot with your favorite sides, such as celery sticks, carrot sticks, and a blue cheese or ranch dressing.

Additional Tips

  • Marinating: For deeper flavor, marinate the wings with the spice mix in the refrigerator for at least an hour or overnight.
  • Sauce Variations: Adjust the amount of hot sauce and honey to balance the heat and sweetness according to your preference.
