Chicken Wings

One of my favorite and most requested meals for me to make is chicken wings.  I use only four ingredients on my chicken wings.  Chicken wings are normally high in calories, because of their skin, so I never fry them, I bake them.

Worchestershire Sauce, garlic powder, half stick of margarine, Louisiana Hot Sauce

I like to buy the large pack of chicken wings.


Take a half stick of margarine (you could use butter too) and melt it in a small pan on the stove.  The recipe actually called for an entire stick of margarine/butter, but I didn't want the extra calories.



Measure 6 ounces of Louisiana Hot Sauce.  If you like it hot, you could use more hot sauce.  My family does not like it hot, so I only use 6 ounces.


Using a shaker bottle, pour the hot sauce and melted butter and a teaspoon of both Worchestershire Sauce and garlic powder.   Shake well.


Pour the mixed sauce into a pan large enough to coat each chicken wing.


Take a pan with sides and place aluminum foil in the bottom (to aid in clean up).  The trick for crispy wings is to place them on a rack, therefore, the chicken cooks on both sides.  If you do not use the rack, the bottom of the chicken will rest in the fat and does not have the desired crispiness.  When placing the chicken on the rack, DO NOT overlap the chicken.  The parts of the chicken that overlap will not cook evenly.


Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and cook for 1 hour and 10 minutes.


Your chicken should look like the picture below.


If desired, enjoy with some blue cheese dressing.

  1. These look really, really good! I think I would ditch the hot sauce though. No tolerance for it, myself.
