Hot and Spicy Chicken Wings

By Addie

For those who love all the heat and fire that a chicken wing can deliver, we offer you this recipe. Hot sauce heat levels vary considerably, so choose wisely!

MY NOTES: Deepfry these little babies - no healthy oven-baking for us! (SHUDDER!)

Ingredients

• 1 cup cayenne pepper sauce (hot
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 24 chicken drummettes
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1 cup Original Bisquick Mix
• 3/4 teaspoon onion
• 1/2 teaspoon
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Blue cheese dressing

Preparation

Step 1

1. Stir together hot sauce and garlic salt until blended. Pour over drummettes; cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours but no longer than 24 hours.

2. Heat oven to 450ºF. Melt butter in jelly roll pan, 15 1/2x10 1/2x1 inch, in oven. Stir together Bisquick mix, onion salt and peppers. Remove chicken from sauce; discard sauce. Coat chicken with Bisquick mixture. Place in single layer in pan.

3. Bake 25 minutes; turn and bake an additional 20 to 25 minutes or until chicken is golden brown and juice is no longer pink when centers of pieces are cut. Serve with dressing.

Expert Tips:

Marinades add flavor and help tenderize meats and poultry. Letting chicken marinate more than 24 hours, though, would cause it to break down, resulting in mushy chicken with an overpowering flavor.

Coat jelly roll pan with aluminum foil before you melt the butter. When the wings are done, just throw away the foil—no dirty pan!

REVIEWS:

Ewwww... I love hot wings, but these didn't turn out the way I thought they would. They were soggy. Not a bit crispy. They burned on one side. Way too long in the oven at that temperature. The marinade was wonderful. Had I skipped the whole bisquick step and put them in the oven out of the marinade, they would have been great. Next time, I will not use the bisquick. I love bisquick, but in this case, not a good choice. I've been making hot wings for a long time and have always gotten great reviews. I thought I'd try something new, but it didn't quite work. I will say, though, this is the first Betty Crocker recipe that has failed me. I'll keep trying new recipes....just not this one.

I have made these wings at least a half dozen times and people rave about them....! I am alwasy ask to bring them to picnics and am making them again this weekend.

I have made this recipe several times and it's always a hit at my house. There are never any leftovers. The wings are not too spicy -- just the right amount of heat. Plus, the Bisquick makes a nice crust. We love them!

Kind of messy to bake in the oven, but I did line the pan with foil for easy cleaning. With the marinade I added 1/4 tsp of the cayenne pepper for an extra kick. I also heated up the marinade for a dipping sauce which was also spicy. I will def use this recipe again.

Loved this recipe it turned out fine - only change I made was to crumble up small chunks of blue cheese into the blue cheese dressing giving it an even stroner blue cheese taste - I served also salsa and chips - people ended up using the chips in the blue cheese dressing. It was great!!

I really enjoyed these wings. The flavor was perfect. They weren't too hot, yet they satisfied. It is critical that you get the right chicken wings. Stay away from wings that are fatty. I served these at my Super Bowl party and they were enjoyed by everybody.

Tastes great! A college football tailgating favorite!

The flavor of these wings were perfect. The only complaint is the texture. I thought baking them in the bisquick coating made the texture a little crumbly. So next time I will just try shallow frying them like I do fried chicken. Good recipe though!

Sorry, this recipe is too dry. I think it's because it's cooked way too long. There's nothing wrong with my oven and it were done in half an hour! Also it says to "coat chicken with Bisquick mixture"--does that mean sprinkle it on or put it in a bag and add the wings, toss and then put on the pan? I put it in the bag and there wasn't enough coating to do the job. Won't bother with this one again.

We got creative with this recipe! We used cubed chicken breast meat instead of wings, and baked approx same length of time. but these little bites of meat are the perfect extra on salads. great twist to spice up an old stand by!

These wings were awesome! I marinated them for about 14 hours in the hot sauce. I served them at two different events and they were the first food item to be eaten. The dip was not necessary, people just picked them up and started eating them.

I made these wings tonight and they were great. Definitely a do again.

Really good hot wing recipe. Served this as an appetizer and we put our entree in the fridge and just ate the hot wings!

This is one of the easiest, most delicious, chicken recipes I have ever tried. My husband really enjoyed it too. I will definitely be making these wings on a regular basis now. I made them for dinner, but they would be perfect as party food/appetizers.
