How to Make Baked Hot Wings

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Remove excess skin from 2 lbs chicken wings.
  3. Arrange wings on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet. This allows grease to drip off.
  4. Bake for 25 minutes, or until fully cooked and lightly browned.
  5. Let the wings cool completely.
  6. While wings cool, prepare the sauce (see ingredients and instructions below).
  7. Once cooled, toss wings in the sauce, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Alternatively, you can place the wings in a crockpot and pour the sauce over them.
  8. (Optional Crockpot Step) Cover and cook on low for at least 2 hours, or until wings are incredibly tender and falling off the bone. Note: Longer cooking times will result in more tender wings but may increase messiness.
  9. (Optional) If using the crockpot, remove wings and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes on a wire rack to crisp slightly.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
