The Best hot wings frank’s red hot recipe

I have been making hot wings with Frank’s Red Hot sauce for years and it is still my go to recipe for game day or any casual get together. The sauce gives the perfect balance of heat and flavor without being too overwhelming. My kids love these wings even though they are not big on spicy food and I love how simple the ingredients are. This recipe uses basic pantry staples and the wings come out crispy every time. Baking instead of frying makes them a bit healthier so I can feel good about serving them to my family. Whether it is a birthday party or just a Friday night dinner these wings always disappear fast.

🥘Ingredients

For the Wings

2 lbs chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

For the Sauce

1/2 cup Frank’s Red Hot Original Sauce

1/4 cup melted unsalted butter

1 tbsp honey

1 tsp garlic powder

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

For extra crispy wings, let them air dry in the fridge for an hour before coating with baking powder. You can adjust the heat by adding more or less Frank’s Red Hot.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Frank’s Red Hot Wings

1. Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?

Yes you can use frozen wings but you need to thaw them completely first and pat them very dry. Extra moisture will keep them from getting crispy.

2. How do I make the wings less spicy for kids?

Reduce the amount of Frank’s Red Hot sauce and increase the butter or honey. You can also serve the sauce on the side so everyone can add their own.

3. Can I make these wings in an air fryer?

Absolutely. Cook the wings at 400°F for about 25 minutes shaking the basket halfway through. Then toss with the sauce.

4. How do I store leftover wings?

Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to bring back the crispiness.

5. Can I use a different hot sauce?

Frank’s Red Hot is the classic choice for this recipe but you can substitute with your favorite buffalo style hot sauce. Just keep in mind the flavor will change.
