How to Make Call The Fire Department Hot Wings

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  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.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
