These Spicy Glazed Chicken Wings are a delightful twist on the classic baked wings, featuring a tangy and spicy glaze that will tantalize your taste buds.
Fill a pot halfway with water, add the salt and cayenne, and bring to a boil.
Ensure the water is boiling before adding the chicken wings for even cooking.
Add the chicken wings to the boiling water and cook for 15 minutes, then drain.
Boiling the wings first helps render excess fat and ensures they cook evenly.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, soy sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, dry mustard, and crushed red pepper flakes. Heat in the microwave until the butter is melted, about 45 seconds.
Stir the glaze well to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined.
Preheat the oven to 450°F.
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking and crispy wings.
Place the boiled wings in a baking dish and pour half of the glaze over them. Bake for 15 minutes.
Arrange the wings in a single layer for even baking.
Turn the wings over, pour the remaining glaze over them, and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
Turning the wings ensures they are evenly coated and cooked.
Serve the wings hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Serve with a side of dipping sauce or fresh vegetables for a complete dish.
