Some focus on the rubs, some focus on the sauce, though the one thing almost all of them have in common is that they deep fry everything. I’ve mentioned in the past, I don’t mind frying, but prefer to stay away from it when I’m at home. So for this chicken wing recipe, we’re baking them. Yes! I present to you, Crispy Baked Ghost Pepper Chicken Wings. Just look at these babies. Don’t they look nice and crispy? Let’s talk about that crispiness, shall we?
Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Wings Ingredients
Chicken Wings. Separated and wing tips removed. Baking Powder. Garlic Powder. Ghost Pepper Powder. Salt. Butter. Louisiana Style Hot Sauce. Blue Cheese Dressing. Crumbled Blue Cheese.
If you’re looking for even MORE crispiness, turn on the broiler at the very end of the cooking time for a couple minutes. Just be careful to not burn them. You can see the crispiness when you take them out of the oven. You can feel the crispy dryness on the skin. It is awesome! The result? Crispy chicken wings! Yes! Success! I can’t decide if I prefer baked chicken wings or grilled chicken wings, so I guess I will just have to keep trying them until one day I make a decision. You can serve them just like this, or toss them with a sauce of your choice. In this recipe, I’ve decided on a Buffalo-Blue Cheese Sauce, made with hot sauce, blue cheese dressing and some crumbled blue cheese. I like the addition of the tang this sauce brings to the chicken wings, though next time, maybe I’ll toss them with my ghost pepper chili sauce recipe and REALLY spice things up. Yes! Don’t forget some extra blue cheese crumbled over the top.
