Hot Chicken Wings & Smoke Gouda Cheese Dip

hot chicken wings

    Ingredients:

    – 2 pounds of chicken wings

    – 1/2 cup hot sauce (adjust based on your preferred spice level)

    – 1/4 cup melted butter

    – 2 tablespoons honey

    – 1 teaspoon garlic powder

    – 1 teaspoon paprika

    – 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust based on your preferred spice level)

    – Salt and pepper to taste

    – Vegetable oil, for frying

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    2. In a bowl, combine the hot sauce, melted butter, honey, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

    3. Place the chicken wings in a large ziplock bag and pour in the marinade. Seal the bag and toss to coat the wings evenly. Let them marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour (overnight for best results).

    4. Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot to around 375°F (190°C).

    5. Carefully add the chicken wings to the hot oil and fry for about 8-10 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy.

    6. Once fried, transfer the wings to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    7. Bake the wings in the preheated oven for an additional 15-20 minutes to ensure they are fully cooked and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

    8. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

    9. Serve hot with your Smoked Gouda Cheese Dip. Enjoy the fiery deliciousness of these hot chicken wings!
