That does look delicious. Out of curiosity, where do you find awesome recipes on Reddit? Because I clearly need to be browsing those places as well.
I'm making chicken wings again, so I'm going to put my updated recipe here. I've amped up the spiciness a bit and reduced the amount of sauce since it was a little excessive. I also rewrote the directions.
Chicken Wings 2: Wing Harder<- Older Recipe | Newer Recipe ->Ingredients (wings and rub):- 6 chicken wings - About 1.8 lbs. Or 12 mini-drumsticks/two-bone-bits if you cut 'em in half already.
- 1 tsp oil (your choice, I use olive or peanut)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp brown sugar
- 1/3 tsp paprika
- 1/3 tsp cayenne powder
Ingedients (sauce):- 0.5 cups barbecue sauce
- 0.25 cups honey
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp pepper
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 0.25 tsp liquid smoke
- Hot sauce to taste
If you already have an appropriately sweet barbecue sauce, you can probably replace the BBQ and honey, and maybe the ketchup too.
Instructions:Preheat your oven to 400F. Stir all rub ingredients besides the chicken wings together in a sufficiently large bowl. You should get some ugly looking stuff with the consistency of wet sand. Then add the chicken wings, stirring to the best of your ability. It's not easy to stir a bowl of chicken wings, so nobody will judge you if the rub isn't perfectly even.
Lay down some parchment paper on a baking sheet. Lay the wings on it, cook for 10 minutes, then flip them. Repeat this twice, for a total of 30 minutes cooking. While you're waiting for the wings, start making the sauce. After your initial 30 minutes are up, dip the wings in the sauce and put them back in for 5 more minutes.
For the sauce, get a small saucepan. I know, I was also surprised when I was actually using a saucepan for sauce. Melt the butter, then add the honey, barbecue sauce, and ketchup. Then add the rest of the sauce ingredients. Keep heating and stirring it this whole time, ideally reaching a light boil. Keep it like that for at least 5 minutes before dipping the wings in.
