Ingredients

chicken wings and/or drumsticks (the sauce below makes enough for about 8 of each, if you aren’t super saucy)

olive oil

salt

pepper

2/3 c homemade hot sauce (or store-bought, like Frank’s)

1/2 c salted butter

1/4 – 1/2 c salt (if needed)

1/4 tsp roasted garlic granules (1/8 tsp garlic powder, if you can’t find)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 F.
  2. Place chicken wings and drumsticks in a glass or metal roasting pan. Coat all chicken with olive oil (sparingly), then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Roast at 450 F for 25 minutes. Without removing chicken, reduce oven temperature to 350 F and bake for another 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 250 F and continue baking for another 20 minutes. Chicken is done!
  4. While chicken is roasting, melt butter in a saucepan. Add hot sauce and remaining ingredients. Heat until slightly thickened.
  5. When chicken is finished roasting at 250, remove from oven and turn heat back up to 350 F.
  6. Spoon sauce over chicken and spread to coat all sides.
  7. Bake chicken at 350 F for another 10 minutes.
