How to Make Call The Fire Department Hot Wings

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss chicken wings with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Arrange wings in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 40 minutes, then flip wings and bake for another 35 minutes, or until crispy and cooked through.
  5. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup melted butter, 2 tablespoons hot sauce (like Frank's RedHot), and 1 tablespoon honey.
  6. Once wings are cooked, toss them in the sauce until evenly coated.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy! For extra heat, add red pepper flakes or more hot sauce to your liking.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
