When I tried this recipe I wondered if it was going to be so hot that I could not eat it, but it wasn’t and I really enjoyed the wings. When I made this I used Tabasco sauce but a friend has suggested that the next time I make these that I try Siracha sauce. I used chicken drumettes because they are a little meatier.
I think these wings will make a great addition to your Super Bowl menu.

SPICY CHICKEN WINGS
1/4 cup hot-pepper sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 stick), melted
4 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
4-5 pounds chicken wings or drumettes
Accompaniment: blue cheese dressing

Mix first 5 ingredients in a large, sturdy zip lock bag. Add chicken, seal bag and turn and massage to coat the chicken. Refrigerate, turning bag occasionally at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with non-stick aluminum foil. Add chicken in a single layer with a little space between the pieces.
Bake, turning chicken once, about 1 hour until chicken begins to crisp. Remember because of the honey this chicken will turn dark so watch it.
To Serve: Pour blue cheese dressing into a bowl and place in the middle of your serving platter, surrounded with the chicken.
