Hot wings are a bar classic. But why go out when you can make them at home? The secret to hot wings is creating a sauce that's both rich in sweetness and spice. This will complement the natural heat from the hot sauce. This way you won't need to go buy blue cheese and celery to balance the dish. You can still go buy those things, and eat them. But now you can skip that step.Side dishes for this episode were from a Blue Apron Recipe Card. If this recipe sounds great, try out Blue Apron for free.

Hot Wings with Coleslaw and Sweet Potato Mash

NOTE: The side dishes came from a Blue Apron. For those dishes please refer to their Recipe Card.Prep Time: Depends on how many wings you make (leave about 20 minutes)Tools: Sharp knife, sheet pan, wire rack, parchment paper, large pot, steamersCook Time: Approx 1 hour

Ingredients

• Family Pack of Wings
• Your Favorite Hot Sauce(s)
• Butter
• Optional: Minced Galric and Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice

Cooking Steps

1. If the wings are not butchered already, then you'll need to cut them into the appropriate pieces. Remove the wing tips then separate the two pieces of the wing (this is where you need a knife).
2. Line two steamers with the wings and place into a large pot with boiling water at the bottom. Make sure the water does not actually reach the wings. Cover and let them steam for about 10 minutes.
3. Remove from the steaming vessel and place on a rack above a sheet pan covered in parchment paper. Bake in the oven at 425 for 20 minutes, then flip and finish in the oven for another 20 minutes.
4. While the wings finish, mix your favorite hot sauce with some butter. I recommend a half a stick but a whole stick is great too. Depends on how spicy versus sweet you want the sauce. To cut the spicy with something other than fatty butter use lime juice.
5. Toss the wings with the homemade sauce right after they finish baking.

Serve with paper towels, moist towelettes, and/or a bowl for the bones.Come back next week for another hilarious episode and bangin' recipe.
