- 56g unsalted butter
- 80ml cayenne pepper hot sauce, like Crystal or Frank’s
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon honey, or more to taste, optional

How To Make Hot Wings Recipe?
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 220°C and set a wire rack inside a large-rimmed baking sheet.
- Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel, then season with salt.
- Bake the Wings: Spread the wings out in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until they are crispy and cooked through.
- Make the Sauce: While the wings bake, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the hot sauce, garlic powder, and honey (if using). Season with salt to taste.
- Toss the Wings in Sauce: Once the wings are done, toss them in the prepared sauce and coat them evenly.
- Serve: Serve the wings hot, with the optional blue cheese dip.
- For the Homemade Blue Cheese Dip: In a bowl, stir together the sour cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the hot wings.
Recipe Tips:
- Dry the Wings Well: Make sure to pat the wings dry with a paper towel before seasoning. This helps them get extra crispy while baking.
- Use a Wire Rack: Place the wings on a wire rack for even cooking and crispiness. This lets the hot air circulate the wings.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Spread the wings out in a single layer on the wire rack to ensure they cook evenly and become crispy.
- Adjust Spice Levels: If you like a milder flavor, reduce the amount of hot sauce or use a milder one.
- Serve Immediately: For the crispiest wings, serve them right after tossing them in the sauce, while they’re still hot.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Let the leftover hot wings cool to room temperature. Once cooled, put them in an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
- Freeze: After cooling, put the wings in an airtight container or freezer bag. You can freeze them for 1-2 months.
- Reheat: Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. Place the wings in the basket and heat for 5-7 minutes, shaking halfway through, until they’re hot and crispy.
