Steps:

PREP/PREPARE
THE SAUCE
Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
Add all the ingredients for the mustard sauce into a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
Stir the mixture until you see the first bubbles appear, and then remove from the heat.
Allow to cool down on the countertop.
Seal in a non-reactive container, and place into the fridge until ready to use.
Chef's Tip: If you can manage to wait 24 hours; please do. The flavor of the sauce really does taste better on the second day.
THE WINGS
Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
Add the paprika, salt, and cayenne to a bowl, or Ziploc bag.
Add the wings and toss until completely coated.
Place into the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour.
Set a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
Place the wings on a parchment-lined baking sheet, fitted with a wire rack.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Increase the heat to 425 (220c), flip the wings over, and bake an additional 20 minutes.
Chef's Note: During this second baking, keep a close eye on the wings. We want them a lovely golden brown, not black.
PLATE/PRESENT
Place the wings on a serving plate with the mustard dipping sauce, and stand back. Enjoy.
Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
