Crispy Baked Chicken Wings

Crispy Baked Chicken Wings

• 2 lbs chicken wing pieces
• Salt
• 3 tbsp hot sauce
• 2 tbsp butter
• Dash of Worcestershire sauce
• Ground cayenne pepper to taste, optional

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 450° F.
2. Heat up a big pot of boiling water. Season the water like you would for cooking pasta.
3. Boil the chicken wings for 7-8 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack so the excess water can drain off. Let them drip dry a little bit, then dry them well with a paper towel.
4. Place the chicken wings directly on a sheet pan. Bake the chicken wings for 25-30 minutes on one side, then flip the wings and bake for another 5 minutes on the other side. The wings should have crispy crackly golden skin on the side that was in contact with the sheet pan.
5. In a small saucepan or in the microwave, heat up the hot sauce, butter, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne pepper, if using, until melted and combined. Toss the hot wings in the sauce, and serve immediately.
6. Gobble them up while they're still crisp, and coated with sauce. Enjoy!
