Total Time 46 minutes
By Noah Chaimberg

For this hot wing recipe, Noah takes a three step approach to get his wings extra-crispy using appliances found in most home kitchens. First, Noah creates a dry-brine using just baking powder and salt, then leaves the chicken wings uncovered to dry in the fridge overnight. Next, he steams the wings for 10 minutes to remove some of their fat before oven baking at 420* for 36 minutes until the wings are sizzling and golden brown. 

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Thoroughly dry chicken wings by patting them with paper towels.
  2. Mix 2 tsp baking powder with 2 tsp kosher salt and rub the mixture over the wings.
  3. Cover a baking sheet in aluminum foil. Arrange wings on a wire rack over the baking sheet, leaving room so the wings do not to touch each other. Refrigerate uncovered for 8 - 24 hours.
  4. Add a steamer insert to a large pot with just enough water to cover the bottom. Bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, steam the wings for 10 minutes. Then remove and pat dry with paper towel.
  5. Set the oven to bake at 420 degrees. Cover a baking sheet in parchment paper. Arrange wings on a wire rack over the baking sheet so they don't touch.
  6. Bake for 18 minutes, then flip and bake another 18 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
  7. In a large bowl, toss wings with enough Hot Ones Buffalo Hot Sauce to coat and enjoy! If not using Hot Ones Buffalo Hot Sauce, pick any hot sauce of your choice and combine with an equal amount of butter in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
  8. When the butter and sauce are thoroughly blended, toss with wings and stay spicy!
