The seasoning blend

What makes these chicken wings so flavorful is the seasoning blend. You most likely have all of the seasonings right in your pantry. To season 3 pounds of chicken wings mix together: 1 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1 Tbsp paprika, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1 1/4 tsp salt, 1 1/4 tsp black pepper, 1 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/4 tsp dried oregano, 1/8 tsp nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp cumin.

Liberally sprinkle both sides of the chicken wings with the seasoning blend.

Baking the wings

Bake the chicken wings on a rack at 425 degrees for 25 minutes, turn them over and bake another 25 minutes. Once your chicken wings are baked to perfection, place them in a bowl and toss them in one of the following sauces.

Buffalo Sauce

In a pan over medium heat, melt 4 Tbsp butter. Allow the butter to cool and whisk in 1/2 cup hot sauce. Toss the chicken wings in the sauce.

Artzy Foodie Pro Tip: Allowing the butter to cool before whisking in the hot sauce will keep the sauce from breaking.

Honey Teriyaki Sauce

In a pan over medium heat, add 2 cloves grated garlic, 4 Tbsp honey, 1 tsp sriracha sauce, 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, 1/2 tsp hot chili sesame oil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Cook until warmed through and toss the chicken wings in the sauce.
