Ingredients

The following ingredients have 5 Servings
  • 4 to 5 pound package chicken wings
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 cup pure cane syrup (like Steen's)*
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce (Sriracha hot chili sauce, or other hot pepper sauces), or to taste

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Disjoint the wings if desired, and reserve tips for homemade stock, or leave the wings whole if you like.
  • Place wings fat side down on a baking sheet. Season wings with salt, pepper and a light sprinkling of garlic powder; set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the syrup and Sriracha sauce; cook over low heat until loosened.
  • Using a brush, dab the sauce on the wings and then turn them. Try to avoid brushing since you'll brush off the seasoning.
  • Season the other side of the wings with salt, pepper and garlic powder and dab with the sauce.
  • Bake on the lower rack of the oven at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove, turn, dab additional sauce on the top and return to the oven for 10 minutes longer.
  • Remove the wings and increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Turn the wings and dab with additional sauce on the top and return to the oven, but on the middle rack. Bake at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.
  • Remove, dab with sauce; brushing up sauce from the pan. Turn, dab, and bake for another 20 to 25 minutes or until done.
  • Remove and turn wings to coat and plate. Total cooking time will depend on the size and thickness of the wings.
