My husband and kids love these wings. They are really good! I always double the recipe.

Wings are a favorite around my house, so it's quite an endorsement when we find a wing recipe we like this much! Everyone I know who has tried these has loved them. In fact, I overheard my son telling Krissi that these are so good that we won't ever have to go to a restaurant to eat these again! The flavors are just perfect. The Test Kitchen

How to Make Crispy Sticky Oven Hot Wings

Step-by-Step

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!)
In a big bowl toss the wings with about a quarter cup of olive oil so the wings are completely covered.
Add all the seasonings to the wings and toss until completely covered.
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.
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.
