Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1/4 cayenne pepper sauce (like Frank’s Red Hot)
  • 1 T freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 T low sodium chicken broth
  • 3 large celery stalks, cut into sticks

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the broiler. Place wings in a large pot and fill with water to cover by about 2 inches. Bring to a boil; continue boiling for 10 minutes. Drain.

2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cayenne pepper sauce, lemon juice, and chicken broth.

3. Transfer wings to a broiler pan and broil, 5-6 inches from the flame, until skin begins to blister and brown, 5-6 minutes. Turn wings over and broil 4-5 minutes more.

4. Transfer wings to a baking sheet and drizzle with reserved sauce and toss well to coat. Place baking sheet under broiler 1 minute to heat wings and sauce. Serve with celery sticks.
