How to Make Al Roker's Spicy Chicken Wings

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with heavy-duty foil.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup hot pepper sauce, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons chili powder, and 1/2 cup melted butter.
  3. Add 3 pounds of chicken wings to the bowl and toss to ensure they're fully coated in the marinade.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 12 hours, turning the wings occasionally.
  5. Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes, then flip the wings and bake for another 45 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  7. For extra crispy wings, broil on low for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Serve immediately with your favorite blue cheese dressing.
