Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 lb uncooked chicken wing sections
1/4 c olive oil
1 stick butter
3/4 c Louisiana hot sauce
1 Tbsp white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp lemon pepper
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp paprika
blue cheese or ranch dressing, for dipping

Steps:

1. Rinse the wings and dry them off individually with a clean kitchen towel, or paper towels completely. (This is the trick to making the wings really good!)
2. In a big bowl toss the wings with about a quarter cup of olive oil so the wings are completely covered.
3. Add all the seasonings to the wings and toss until completely covered.
4. Lay the wings flat on a sprayed cookie sheet. Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 30 minutes. After about 30 minutes and the wings look cooked, but not crispy, turn the oven on broil and cook each side until nice and crispy. Watch the wings closely so they don't burn.
5. In a small saucepan melt the stick of butter and whisk in enough hot sauce to your liking, add the vinegar and whisk. Add some salt and pepper if needed. Adjust to your taste. Put the wings back in a big, clean bowl and pour the sauce over them; toss. Put some extra sauce on the side. Dip in your favorite dressing like blue cheese or ranch.
