Ingredients:
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup hot sauce
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Wings
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels to ensure they get crispy in the oven.
Step 2: Season the Wings
In a bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this mixture over the chicken wings, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Step 3: Bake the Wings
Place the seasoned wings on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced apart. Drizzle the wings with olive oil to help with browning. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the wings are crispy and cooked through.
Step 4: Prepare the Sauce
In a separate bowl, mix the hot sauce and melted butter until well combined. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Step 5: Coat the Wings
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the spicy sauce over the wings, then toss them gently until evenly coated.
