How to Make Sweet And Spicy Chicken Wings

  1. Preheat oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter over medium heat.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard and stir to combine.
  4. Gradually whisk in 1 cup packed light brown sugar until completely dissolved.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brandy, and 2 tablespoons your favorite pepper sauce (e.g., Frank's RedHot). Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Place 2 lbs chicken wings in a 9x12 inch baking dish.
  7. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken wings, ensuring they are well coated.
