# Steps To Follow:
01 -
Combine the chicken wings, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika in a large mixing bowl. Toss thoroughly to ensure even coating. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 12 hours.
02 -
In a small saucepan set over medium heat, add hot sauce, melted butter, honey or brown sugar, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, chili flakes, grated garlic, cumin (if using), and a pinch of salt. Whisk constantly and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened. Reserve a few tablespoons in a separate bowl for serving.
03 -
To grill, preheat the grill to medium-high. Grill wings for 15 to 18 minutes, turning occasionally until the skin is charred and the meat is cooked through. To bake, heat oven to 220°C. Arrange wings on a wire rack over a baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway. For extra crispness, broil 2 to 3 minutes at the end.
04 -
Transfer the hot wings to a large bowl and pour over the prepared Nether Flame sauce. Toss to evenly coat each wing.
05 -
Arrange coated wings on a metal serving tray. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or cilantro and lemon wedges. Serve the reserved Nether Flame sauce alongside for dipping.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
For crispier wings, pat them dry before seasoning and refrigerate uncovered for 1 to 2 hours to help render excess moisture.
02 -
Adjust chili flakes and hot sauce quantity to tailor the heat to your preference.
03 -
For an intense spicy kick, add a pinch of ghost pepper to the sauce.
