Preparation

Instructions

0/4

Preparing the wings
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Mix the wings with baking powder and salt, then arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Ensure the wings do not touch each other for even cooking.
Cooking the wings
Bake the wings for 25 minutes, turning them halfway to ensure they brown on both sides.
For extra crispiness, broil them for a few minutes at the end.
Making the sauce
In a small saucepan, combine the hot sauce, melted butter, and apple cider vinegar. Heat over low heat until the mixture is smooth.
Add a pinch of sugar to mellow the sauce if desired.
Coating the wings
Once the wings are cooked, place them in a large bowl and pour the hot sauce over them. Toss to coat all wings evenly.
Serve immediately for optimal flavor.

Serving Suggestions

Let your wings rest for a few minutes after cooking so the butter and sauce can soak into the tender chicken meat. Serve them with plenty of napkins, your guests will thank you! Pair them with a cold beer or a sparkling cider to balance the spiciness of the sauce. And why not complement with nachos or a poutine for a champion's meal?
