Spicy chicken wings are a classic comfort food which originated in the Southern States. They are commonly known as buffalo wings. They are traditionally deep fried and coated with breading. They are served with different sauces. Many parts of the chicken can be used such as the breasts, thighs, and legs. In this recipe, we bake the chicken wings instead of deep frying them. It is always a healthy alternative to frying. They will not, however, be as crispy as when they are deep fried, but they are just as delicious. The spiciness of chicken can be adjusted by adding more hot chili sauce or cayenne pepper. If you don’t have any chili sauce on hand, you can use any spicy seasoning such as hot pepper sauce, chili powder, or chili flakes, as long it will make the chicken spicy. Many adults prefer hot wings. I prepared them this weekend. They are my usual Friday night wings with a cold beer. If you have kids, make sure you adjust the spiciness so they can eat and enjoy them.
