1

Let’s hear it for some simple, saucy and delicious appetizers. This is the food for weekends, game day, or week night lazy dinners. It’s beyond easy to make and hot and flavorful.

Wings:

For this recipe, its all about the crispiness of the wings. In order to ensure this: (1) Hopefully you have a slotted baking pan or a wire rack over a baking sheet setup. (2) Make sure your wings are patted dry as can be. (3) Coat each wing and drum with that seasoned oil mixture. (4) Bake them for 25 minutes on one side and then flip them over and bake again for another 30 minutes.

Sauce:

The sauce is quite straightforward and easy peasy to stir up. The ingredients of Hot Sauce (any hot sauce works), honey and butter. The spicy with the sweet and the richness of the butter all come together for a yummy little sauce.

If you’re serving these as an appetizer, try to include some sliced carrot and celery sticks and, of course, some blue cheese dressing. Top with some fresh chopped parsley for finishing aesthetic

• 1 tsp onion powder
• salt and pepper to taste

Sauce:

• 1/4 cup Frank's hot sauce
• 2 tbs honey
• 4 tbs butter

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 400°F. Try to use a slotted baking pan (or wire rack of a baking sheet) – this ensures crispiness of the wings.
