Super Bowl Hot Wings
It’s Been A While
Forgive me. It’s been almost two months since my last post and I’ve fallen a bit behind. I do have a primary full time job and this year I really do think they are trying to wear us down to the bone with upgrade after upgrade. My weekends need to get back to cooking and relaxing; maybe even a workout or two.
Super Bowl
I’m not really an avid football watcher. I only ever played it in my early twenties with a group of guys on Sunday afternoon. But once that stopped, I quickly lost interest. However I do like to watch the Super Bowl if anything just for the commercials and the snacks!
Enter Super Bowl Hot Wings.
I do enjoy a variety of flavors but lately my palate has stucks to 3 main sauces. The classic buffalo sauce, lemon pepper and a spicy thai chili sauce. I chose not to deep fry my wings but rather roast them in the oven. Whether you are a drums or flats kinda person, these 3 different sauces are sure to please everyone!
Ingredients
- 2-3 lbs chicken wings
- Lawry’s Lemon Pepper Seasoning
- Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce
- Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce
- Red Chili Pepper Flakes
- Honey
- Sliced green onions
- Huy Fong Foods Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce
- 1 stick of unsalted butter
- Olive oil
- Salt, Pepper
- Onion Powder
- Garlic Powder
- Smoked Paprika
- Cornstarch
What To Do
- After removing from the packaging, rinse the chicken wings under cold water.
- Pat dry with paper towels and coath with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika and a teaspoon of cornstarch. The cornstarch will help crisp them up in the oven. Place the wings uncovered in the fridge overnight. This will help dry out the skin and make a crispier wing.
- In a saucepan, melt one stick of unsalted butter (1/4 cup) and added 1 1/2 tablespoons of lemon pepper seasoning. I was going for the lemon pepper wet look. Or as an alternative method, melt one stick of butter, brush the wings with the butter then sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning.
- In a second saucepan, add 1/2 bottle of Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce, one tablespoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of sriracha sauce, and a dash of chili flakes. Be cautious with the chili flakes and sriracha, too much and it will make for a very spicy 🌶️ wing.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking tray with aluminum foil and coat with olive oil to prevent the wings from sticking.
- Once the oven is heated, cook the wings for 20 minutes, flip and cook for an additional 25 minutes.
- Place the wings in a bowl, and then coat with each sauce to your liking. Don’t forget to garnish the spicy thai wings with green onions

With 2-3 pounds of chicken wings, this will feed approximately 4-6 people if being served as the main dish. At a Super Bowl party, this will ensure everyone will get to sample all 3 sauces.
Dip in some homemade ranch and enjoy!
