I have tried many variations in the past. This one by far is the best and juiciest. Enjoy! This recipe really makes the Angry Chicken Hot Wing Sauce Shine. The Angry Chicken contains just a touch of Ghost Pepper for a nice kick!
24 whole chicken wings
6 ounces butter
1/4 Cup Honey or Agave Syrup (optional for the sweetness, it's good without it)
1/2 Cup Angry Chicken Hot Wing Sauce
Place a 6-quart saucepan with a steamer basket and 1-inch of water in the bottom, over high heat, cover and bring to a boil.
Remove the tips of the wings and discard. Using kitchen shears, or a knife, separate the wings at the joint. Place the wings into the steamer basket, cover, reduce to medium heat and steam for 15 minutes. Remove the wings from the basket and lay out on paper towels. Pat dry. Line a large rimmed cooking sheet with paper towels, put wings on sheet and place in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Replace the paper towels with parchment paper. Make sure wings are spread evenly on the sheet pan. Roast on the middle rack of the oven for 20 minutes. Turn the wings over and cook another 20 minutes or until meat is cooked through and the skin is golden brown.
While the chicken is roasting, melt the butter in a small bowl. Pour this along with Angry Chicken and Honey/Agave into a bowl large enough to hold all of the chicken and stir to combine.
Remove the wings from the oven and transfer to the bowl and toss with the sauce. Serve warm with celery slices and plenty of paper towels!
Dipping Sauce:
8 oz package cream cheese (Room Temperature or best mixing)
1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice
2 Tablespoons of Minced Green Onion
One Dip Mix Package: Green Chile, Mild: Jalapeno or Chipotle Medium: or the Hot Greem Ghost ® Dip Mix.
Mix all ingredients well and refrigerate until ready to use. Pulse in a food processor until well blended.
This dip is good for more than just wings. Use for potatoes, veggies or chips too!
