Spicy Maple Chicken Wings

 Chicken Wings are so easy to make and fun to eat! I LOVE Frank's Red Hot Cayenne Pepper sauce! It's just the best! These wings are first baked, and then deep fried for a little extra crispiness and very juicy and delicious after they are tossed in a combinations or melted butter and Frank's!

MMMMMM! MMMMM!! Nothing goes better with football than chicken wings!

Spicy Maple Chicken Wings

Ingredients

12 chicken wings

salt and pepper to taste

Oil for frying (Canola, peanut or vegetable)

1/2 cup butter, cubed

1 cup Frank's Red Hot Cayenne Pepper Sauce

1/4 cup maple syrup

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375. On a large baking sheet, spray with vegetable oil--or even better use parchment paper. Place wings on the baking sheet, season with salt and pepper. Bake for about 20-25 minutes.

Heat a large dutch oven filled with vegetable oil, (enough to fully submerge chicken) to about 350-375 degrees. Or if you have a deep fryer with a basket, heat oil.

While oil is heating and chicken is baking, melt cubed butter in a small saucepan. Stir in maple syrup and cayenne pepper sauce, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat.

After chicken has baked, fry in heated oil for few minutes until they are golden brown. Let drain. Toss in the butter/cayenne pepper sauce mixture, shake off excess sauce and transfer to a serving platter. Serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing is desired.
