Ingredients

  • 2 lb chicken wings
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup hot sauce
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat the 2 lb chicken wings dry with paper towels, then toss with 2 tbsp vegetable oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Arrange wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with foil. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy, with internal temperature reaching 165°F.

  3. 3

    While wings bake, melt 2 tbsp butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Stir 1/2 cup hot sauce into the butter mixture and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Transfer baked wings to a large bowl, pour the sauce over, and toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.

  6. 6

    For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes to the sauce. Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing if desired.
