Baked Spicy Chicken Wings
I decided to bake my husband some chicken wings this weekend because he really loves them. These baked spicy chicken wings were super easy to make and turned out moist, tender, and delicious. These spicy wings paired nicely with blue cheese dressing.
How to Make Spicy Chicken Wings
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Drizzle the oil on the baking sheet and spread it evenly over its surface.
Combine the flour, garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt, to taste in a large zip lock bag; seal and mix until well combined.
Add a large handful of wings to the flour mixture and toss until evenly coated. Remove from the flour shaking excess off; place skin side UP on the prepared baking sheet without crowding them. Repeat with the remaining wings. Discard any leftover flour.
Place the baking sheet into the oven and bake the wings undisturbed for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, carefully flip the wings over and continue to bake for another 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on paper towels to drain grease.
Make the sauce by combining Frank’s hot sauce and the melted butter; heat in the microwave for 30 seconds to get hot.
Place the wings in a large bowl then drizzle the sauce on the wings then toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately with blue cheese dressing on the side, if desired. Enjoy.

Hi Pam! Chicken wings bring me back to college days. I remember going to happy hour and devouring them with a side of blue cheese dressing and a tall glass of beer.
My hubby would love it if I made him a plate of these while he was watching his favorite game. They seem easy enough so maybe I will surprise him on Superbowl Sunday.
I love chicken wings! I really must try them with the blue cheese dressing!
Hello Pam, lovely spicy chicken wings!

I think I could convert my hubs to eat hot stuff looking at this yummee chicken bites….thank you!
I have no idea what Frank’s Original is but I guess it is a hot sauce of some kind. This sounds like it would be great with my turkey wings. Keep well Diane
You can get it at the grocery store, you will like it!:)
Oh, how I love spicy wings!! Those look amazing, Pam!
I have been searching for a baked Buffalo chicken wing recipe to make for the Superbowl, and I just found the perfect one! If you and your husband loved these, I know my family will, too! Thanks, Pam!
Perfect for football sunday!
oh delicious! ‘Spicy’ is my friend!
Those sound very good!
These look fantastic!
LOVE ME SOME WINGS!!! Yummy!
Looks like a very nice wing recipe Pam
how I love spicy wings ..
Love love love spicy wings! They look so good!
Yes, I need to be thinking about what sorts of football food I will be preparing for the upcoming weekend! I am a wimp when it comes to HOT anything! But hubby loves it. He would like those wings!!!
Hugs,
Kris
Those look so yummy! I am making those for the game this weekend! I also love that you didn’t fry them 🙂
In my opinion, there’s nothing better for football than hot wings. Especially with Frank’s Red Hot!
It looks mouthwatering!Kisses,dear!
I love that these are baked! I am a big fan of spicy wings, but hate that they are all fried. Great recipe in time for the football parties coming up!
This is perfect husband food!!
I love this time of year and seeing all of the different varieties of wing recipes, and yours looks delicious! Just the fact you used Frank’s alone makes this a stand out. Great post!
That’s what’s for dinner next weekend! They look delicious, I cant wait to try them.
Isn’t it fun to spoil the husband with a special treat? These look great, and just in time for the Superbowl!
Everything is better with Franks!!!
Just thinking of Frank’s sets my tastebuds on fire…in a good way. 🙂 these look amazing!
Wow, I love these wings. These wings would have my tastebuds dancing.
I love chicken wings and baked means I can have many without worrying much about the calories.. Thanks for posting a lovely recipe!
Poor angel lost his wings, ha ha. Just kidding.
You know I’m a big wing fan and these look like some tasty ones, Pam. I’m sure they disappeared quickly.
Did you use salted or unsalted butter?
Tiffany,
I used salted butter. I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Pam
These look really good! I made some wings on Sunday, which were ok, but I baked them and then tossed them in the hot sauce mix…I think marinading would have added to the flavor. Next time I will try this recipe.I cringed at using an entire stick of butter, lol…but what are you gonna do? My husband is from upstate ny and swears Frank’s + butter is the only way to go 🙂 And the bleu cheese dressing is a must to cool the burn!
will this work if i BBQ instead of broil? thank you, love your blog
I am sure it will work just fine! I hope you enjoy them as much as we did.
Cheers,
Pam
Hi Pam
12 wings, is that 12 whole wings cut up to make 24 pieces or 6 whole wings cut up to make 12 pieces.
6 whole wings to make 12 pieces. I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Pam
Greetings from Australia!
I just tried your recipe and have to say, it was absolutely sensational. I baked mine on my Weber Kettle, and they came out perfect! Spicy, with a lovely afterburn. Thank you for sharing this new, permanent addition to my arsenal of recipes.
Dimitri,
I’m so glad you like the wings! Thanks for letting me know.
