❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Frank’s Hot Chicken Wings

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

Yes you can use frozen wings but make sure to thaw them completely in the refrigerator first. Pat them very dry before adding the baking powder and seasonings to get the best crispiness.

2. How do I make these wings less spicy?

To reduce the heat, use less Frank’s RedHot sauce and add more melted butter. You can also mix in a little ketchup or honey to balance the spice.

3. Can I grill these wings instead of baking?

Absolutely. Just preheat your grill to medium high and cook the wings for about 20 minutes turning occasionally until they are cooked through and crispy. Toss them in the sauce after grilling.

4. How do I store leftover wings?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to bring back the crispiness.

5. Can I make the sauce ahead of time?

Yes the sauce can be made up to a week in advance. Just keep it in a sealed container in the refrigerator and warm it up gently before tossing with the wings.
