Ingredients
- 2 pounds bone-in chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Cover a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a wire rack on top. Pat your wings dry with paper towels, then add them to a large bowl. Drizzle with avocado oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss until they are completely coated.
- Place the wings on prepared wire rack, making sure that the wings aren't touching.
- Bake in your preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and a digital thermometer reads 165 degrees when inserted into the chicken close to the bone.
- While you bake the wings, add the Frank's Red Sauce and brown sugar into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat.
- Once baked, add the hot wings straight from the oven to a large bowl and drizzle with the buffalo sauce. Toss until completely coated.
- Serve warm with your favorite ranch or blue cheese dressing. Enjoy!
Notes
Storing leftovers: allow the wings to cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheating: reheat in a preheated 350 degrees oven for about 15 minutes.
