The secret to perfect Hooters BBQ wings is the sauce. In this recipe, we'll show you how to make the perfect sauce and cook the wings to perfection.
The Ingredients
Before we get started, let's gather the ingredients: - 2 lbs chicken wings - 1 cup ketchup - 1/2 cup molasses - 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar - 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce - 1/4 cup brown sugar - 2 tbsp smoked paprika - 1 tbsp garlic powder - 1 tbsp onion powder - 1 tbsp salt - 1 tbsp black pepper
The Sauce
To make the sauce, simply combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. The longer you let the sauce simmer, the thicker and more flavorful it will become. Once the sauce is done, set it aside.
The Wings
Now, let's cook the wings. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Pat the wings dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper. Place the wings on the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until they are cooked through and crispy.
The Final Touch
Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips for Making Perfect Hooters BBQ Wings
- Pat the wings dry before seasoning them. This will help them get crispy in the oven. - Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave some space between the wings so they can cook evenly. - If you want your wings to be extra crispy, broil them for a few minutes after baking. - Use a meat thermometer to make sure the wings are cooked through. The internal temperature should be 165°F. - You can adjust the amount of spices in the sauce to your liking. Add more or less paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder as desired.
