Read This: Epic wing recipe!

Oh, did I get you attention?

Congratulations on opening this post, because you are about to have your life changed. You will become a wing legend and folk songs will be written in your honor. I am but a humble servant of the wings and they beckon me to share their magic, their flavour, their secrets.

Remember this moment, this is where your life changes for ever brothers and sisters.

We are making wings, epic tasty wings!

Preheat your oven to 375F/200C

Cut and prep wingettes, then wash and pat dry using paper towel, whilst drying talk softly to each wing telling it how special it is (32 in this batch).

Spice Mix (rubba dub dub time):
1 tsp of salt
1.5 tsp garlic salt
2 heaped tsp smoked paprika (real)
.5 tsp white pepper
.5 tsp onion powder
1.5 tsp soft brown sugar
.5 to 1 tsp hot cayenne pepper (adjust this to taste)

Sprinkle the above on the wings.
Be a zen chicken wing master, don't use a spoon. Coat the wings, mix the wings, touch the wings, massage in the goodness.

Pop onto trays, bake for 20 mins then flip them and bake again for another 20 mins.
Whilst you are waiting it's sauce time!

Epic Wing sauce:
2 cups of your favorite BBQ sauce (if you don't make your own like me, sweet baby rays is great)
2 table spoons overflowing of ketchup
1/2 to 3/4 cups of honey (I use mangrove, any will do)
1 tsp of garlic powder
Couple of splashes of Tabasco sauce (to taste)
4 tablespoons of butter
A squirt of Sriracha sauce (to taste)

Put it all in a pot and get it simmering away, it's going to be sticky, sexy and tasty.

Taste and adjust, let the sauce talk to you.
Bond and make it your own, this is where your legend begins.

Look at that sauce shine, keep stirring in that butter and get this biatch lightly bubbling.

Look at these glorious spiced mofos.
They are crispy and delicious without the sauce. This is why we baked 32, because you can now eat 2 of them.
You deserve it, you bewdaful bastard!

Now its bath time, get the wings in the sauce and coat them.

A social soak and coat, you want them dripping in the stuff.

Dunk and repeat, baptize each wing in this sauce. Biblical quotes are optional.

You will have residual sauce and you will give it to your mum, your partner's mum, your boss or who ever you want to win favour (keep it if they are not worthy).

With that act you will be forever known as the sauce boss and good fortune will shine upon thee.

This is where we reach a cross roads dear reader and the next part is up to you.

Either you put them back in the oven for 5 minutes and have them wet gooey, slightly browned or you put them in for 10-15 mins and have them sticky and caramelised.

I say...
Why not both?

5 minutes back in the oven, see that shine?
It calls to you, they beg you to eat them.
You focus on the whole tray and...

... that is a feeling of wing euphoria!
Look at the wings, look how they shine for you. Oh what a thing to do.
And they were all chicken!
Delicious, runny, tasty, saucey chicken wings.

10 - 15 mins later:
Sticky, caramelised, delicious chicken wings.
Either way glorious, tasty and you'll be licking your fingers.

May the sauce be with you, always.
