Ingredients
2 lbs wings and drummettes (about 20 pieces), rinsed and patted dry with paper towels
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp paprika
3 Tbsp unsalted ghee
5 oz hot sauce (about 1/2 cup) – **see notes for Paleo Hot Sauce
1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400º. Set aside a 9×13″ rimmed baking sheet.
-
Combine the salt, garlic powder, and paprika and mix to combine.
-
Place the wings in a large bowl and toss them in the spice blend, making sure they’re evenly covered. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake the wings for 25 minutes; flip, and bake another 10 minutes
-
While the wings are baking, combine the sauce ingredients in a large pot (make sure the pot is big enough to fit all the wings, because they’re going in there in a minute!). Heat the ingredients over medium, whisking to combine, then set aside.
-
When the wings are finished baking, transfer them to the pot of hot sauce and use a wooden spoon to toss the wings in the sauce.
-
Turn the pot on and heat over medium-low, stirring the wings occasionally, about 5 minutes.
-
Serve the wings hot – and enjoy!
Notes
These wings are mild-medium on the heat scale. For medium+ hot wings, add ¼ tsp cayenne pepper to the sauce in step 5. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Good choices for Paleo-friendly hot sauces include Frank’s Red Hot Sauce®, Crystal® Louisiana Hot Sauce, Tessamae’s® Hot Sauce, and any other brand that offers a hot sauce without additives or preservatives. The only ingredients you need are cayenne pepper, garlic, vinegar, water, and salt 😉
