Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds chicken wings cut
  • 1 cup chicken broth or water
  • 3/4 cup hot sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar or honey
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray for the baking sheet

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Skillet
  • Oven
  • Saucepan
  • Frying pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. This high temperature is essential for achieving crispy wings. As the oven heats up, you’ll want to prepare your baking sheet. Coat it with cooking spray or lightly brush it with oil to prevent sticking.
  2. In a deep pan or skillet, combine chicken broth, hot sauce, butter, brown sugar, and seasonings. Turn the heat to medium and bring this mixture to a simmer. Stir occasionally and enjoy the aromas that fill your kitchen.
  3. Once simmering, add the chicken wings to the pan. Ensure they are well coated in the sauce. Let them simmer for 15 minutes; this step infuses the wings with flavor.
  4. After simmering, transfer the wings to the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure they’re not crowded to allow for even cooking.
  5. Don’t forget to reserve the sauce in the pan for later. Place the baking sheet in the upper rack of the oven and bake the wings. After 15 minutes, carefully turn them over to crisp the other side.
  6. Continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the skin is wonderfully golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  7. While the wings are baking, take the reserved sauce and simmer it over medium-low heat. This will thicken the sauce, intensifying the flavors.
  8. Once the wings are done, return them to the skillet with the thickened sauce. Toss them gently to coat each wing in that delicious, spicy goodness.
  9. Serve the wings immediately with your choice of dipping sauce and fresh celery sticks. Enjoy every spicy bite of your Hot Spicy Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings.

Notes

There are countless ways to enjoy Hot Spicy Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings. Here are some quick tips: Storage: Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheating: Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crisp texture. Flavor Variations: Experiment with different sauces like teriyaki or BBQ for a unique taste. Cooking Method: Try cooking the wings in an air fryer for a faster option with less oil. Spice Levels: Adjust the amount of hot sauce based on your heat preference. Less sauce = milder wings.
