Oven-Fried Chicken Wings with Mango Habanero Hot Sauce


Well it is game day, and whether you are a football fan or not, Superbowl brings with it an excuse to sit around with friends, drink beer and eat wings.  While I wanted to make wings, I also did not want to just toss store-bought hot sauce on our joints, so I opted to try making wings with homemade hot sauce.  And, since I do not have a deep fryer, I went for oven-fried wings instead.  Result was tasty, quite spicy and definitely flavourful.

Oven-Fried Chicken Wings with Mango Habanero Hot Sauce

2 lbs chicken wings
1/4 cup all purpose flower
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup to 1 cup Mango Habanero Hot Sauce or hot sauce of your choice (Red Hot!)

Cut each chicken wing at the joint to make 3 pieces, trimming off any excess skin. Keep wing tips aside to use in a stock at a future time.

Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large Ziploc bag, toss chicken wings in melted butter and salt.  Sprinkle flour a bit at a time into bag, zip, and toss with wings.   Arrange wings on a broiler pan and bake in the oven uncovered for 20 minutes. Turn wings over and cook for a further 20 minutes or until done. In a large bowl or pan, toss wings with  Mango Habanero Hot Sauce until well coated.

Serve with Blue Cheese Dressing, carrots and celery sticks.
