Spicy Baked Chicken Wings
I usually season my wings with salt, pepper, and some other seasonings I have in the pantry. I think I used a bit too much salt, so I'm adjusting the salt amount in the recipe. Feel free to skip the brining solution, but I like it. I've noticed that to get the chicken pieces well browned, you must not overcrowd them.

Step-by-step
- In a large bowl, make a brine by mixing all the ingredients until the salt dissolves. Set aside.
- Wash and clean the wings, cutting off the small wing tips if needed. Place them in a large bowl and pour the brine over them, ensuring they're fully immersed. Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
- Drain and pat the wings dry.
- Make the marinade by placing all the ingredients in a food processor. Apply the marinade all over the wings.
- Take out a jelly roll pan and cover it with parchment paper. Lay the chicken wings on the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. You want them to brown evenly and not boil and steam. Use two pans if necessary.
- Place the wings in a preheated 425-degree oven and bake for about 30 minutes. Turn once and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until nicely crisp and browned.
- Place the hot wings in a large bowl and pour the hot sauce over them. You can add melted butter to the sauce if you like, but it's optional.
- Mix well to glaze each piece. Serve with celery sticks, blue cheese dressing, and napkins.
