A Recipe Born from Inspiration

About 15 years ago, I stumbled upon a Super Bowl snack recipe that caught my attention. Over time, I’ve tweaked it to create a unique flavor profile that’s sure to please even the pickiest eaters.

The Perfect Combination of Flavors

To create this delectable dish, you’ll need:

  • 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
  • 3/8 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
  • 12-14 chicken wing drummettes (or 6-7 wings with tips removed and cut at the joint)

Bringing it All Together

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, hot sauce, soy sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix until the ingredients form a smooth, syrup-like consistency.

Coat and Bake

Thoroughly coat the chicken wings with the marinade, making sure to reserve any excess. Place the wings in a baking pan and bake for 45 minutes, turning them halfway through. To add a crispy touch, broil the wings for 2-3 minutes on each side.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve your savory chicken wings with a side of ranch or bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks for a satisfying snack that’s sure to please. With its perfect balance of sweet, spicy, and tangy flavors, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household.
