How to Make Thermonuclear Chicken Wings

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 2 teaspoons garlic powder, 2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce, 1 tablespoon habanero sauce, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
  3. Separate chicken wings at the joint into drumettes and flats.
  4. Place wings in a large bowl.
  5. Using a pastry brush, coat the wings evenly with the sauce mixture, ensuring all wings are thoroughly coated.
  6. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of ground red pepper (or more, to taste) over the wings.
  7. Arrange wings in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the wings are browned and cooked through.
  9. Arrange wings on a bed of leaf lettuce for serving.
  10. Serve immediately with your favorite cold beverage and a generous side of bleu cheese dressing for cooling relief. For grilling, follow steps 1-6, then grill wings over medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through.
