How to Make Melodee's Hot Wings

  1. Preheat your broiler to high.
  2. Arrange chicken wings in a single layer on a broiler-safe baking sheet.
  3. Broil for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. While the chicken is broiling, whisk together the hot sauce, melted butter, honey, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper (if using) in a medium bowl.
  5. Once the chicken is cooked, dip each piece into the sauce, ensuring it's evenly coated.
  6. Return the wings to the broiler for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to slightly caramelize and thicken. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  7. Flip the wings and broil for another 2-3 minutes on the opposite side, until the sauce is to your desired consistency.
  8. Serve immediately with chicken flavored noodles and a side vegetable, or enjoy them plain!
  9. Enjoy your crispy, flavorful Melodee's Hot Wings!
