Ingredients
For the Wings
- 28 Wings Drums & Flats
- ¼ cup Olive Oil
For the Hot Wing Sauce
- 2 tablespoon Butter Unsalted
- 1 clove Garlic Minced
- ¼ cup Chipotle Hot Sauce
- ¼ teaspoon Cayenne Powder To taste- more for super spice!
- ¼ teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1 pinch Kosher Salt
- 1 pinch Black Pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Arrowroot Powder
Instructions
For the Hot Wing Sauce
- Melt the butter in a small pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring consistently, for 1-2 minutes or until the garlic is very fragrant.
- Pour the garlic and butter into a large sized mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk together well. Set aside until the wings are cooked.
For the Wings
- In a large, heavy bottom saute pan, add the olive oil over high heat. When the oil shimmers, add in ½ of the wings. You don't want to crowd the pan. Let the wings cook for 1-2 minutes to get nice and crispy. Turn to brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and repeat with the other wings.
- Once all the wings have been browned, add them all back into the pan over medium-high heat. Continue to cook for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through. The drums will take longer than the flats.
For the Hot Wing Recipe
- When the wings are cooked, add them to the large mixing bowl with the hot sauce. Using tongs, toss them lightly in the sauce to coat. Serve hot and happy eating!
Notes
For hotter wings, add in more cayenne or substitute habanero powder. If you don't want them quite so spicy, omit the cayenne completely.
We served these with sour cream that was cut with some cream to thin it out a bit. I added a touch of red wine vinegar as well. It was absolutely delicious!
