2LbsChicken Wings, separated and wing tips removed
2TbspOlive Oil
5Dried Carolina Reaper Pods
1TbspBaking Powder
1TbspGarlic Powder
1TspSalt
1CupFlour
Superhot Hot Sauce, for serving
Instructions
Pat the wings as dry as you can get them. This will help with the crispiness.
In a large bowl or molcajete, grind the Carolina Reaper pods into a powder. Add baking powder, garlic, salt and flour. Mix to combine.
Lightly oil the chicken wings then dip them into the seasoned flour mixture. Get them nicely coated. The baking powder helps with the crispiness.
Heat oven to 250 degrees. Set the wings onto a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes.
Increase oven heat to 425 degrees and bake another 30 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through and the skins are nice and crispy. You can also hit them with the broiler a couple minutes to crisp them up even more.
Serve with the hot sauce on the side, or toss them in the hot sauce for even HOTTER wings, you crazy heat-loving animal!
