- 1/4 cup unsalted butter

How to Make Crispy Chicken Wings with Spicy Sauce
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they crisp up nicely. Toss the wings in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
- Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- While the wings are baking, prepare the spicy sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the hot sauce and stir until well combined. Remove from heat.
- Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the spicy sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Serve immediately, garnished with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing if desired.
Tips for the Best Results
- For extra crispy wings, consider air-frying them instead of baking.
- Make sure to dry the wings thoroughly before coating to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of hot sauce based on your spice tolerance.
Easy Variations
- For a sweeter sauce, add a tablespoon of honey to the hot sauce mixture.
- Experiment with different hot sauces for varying flavor profiles.
- Add a sprinkle of your favorite seasoning blend to the flour mixture for added flavor.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh celery and carrot sticks for crunch.
- Classic ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
- Crispy potato wedges or loaded nachos for a hearty spread.
