Sweet and Sticky Hot Wings

I found this recipe at the Food and Wine website and thought it was a great way to change up your typical hot wings!  It has your typical ingredients but the one ingredient that caught my eye was adding melted hot pepper jelly! I know right…why didn’t I think of that!! The original recipe calls for the wings to be baked at 500 degrees.  Well my oven does not take to cooking that hot so I baked mine at 450 degrees and they were just fine!

INGREDIENTS
2 Tablespoon all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried garlic
1 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
2 pounds chicken wingettes and drumettes
2 1/2 Tablespoons hot sauce, I used Frank’s
2 Tablespoons unsalted melted butter
2 Tablespoons hot pepper jelly, melted

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with foil and spray with vegetable oil. In a bowl mix the flour, salt, dried garlic and paprika.  Add the chicken to the flour mixture and toss to coat all of the chicken pieces.
Spread the chicken out on your baking sheet on a single layer and spray the chicken with vegetable oil. Roast the chicken for 45 minutes turning the chicken two or three times until browned and crispy.
In a bowl whisk the hot sauce , butter and hot pepper jelly.  When the chicken is cooked through remove from oven, toss with the sauce and serve warm.

Enjoy!
