Cook Time: 40 minutes

Total Time: 2 hours, 55 minutes
Yield: 8 to 10 Appetizer Servings

Ingredients:

30 to 36 chicken wings
Brine
cold water
1 tablespoon white vinegar
2 tablespoons salt

Sauce
6 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup hot sauce, such as Frank's
1 teaspoon Tabasco Sauce or similar
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
celery and dips, as desired

Preparation:

Wash the chicken and cut off wing tips with kitchen shears. Cut the wings at the joint and put in a bowl. Cover with cold water, 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, and 2 tablespoons of salt. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Heat oven to 425°.

Line a large baking pan or roasting pan with foil. Place a cooling rack in the pan. Discard the brine and arrange the wings on the rack. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn wings over and bake for 20 minutes longer.

Meanwhile, heat the butter, hot sauce, Tabasco, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, and garlic powder in a small saucepan until butter is melted and the mixture is hot.

In a bowl, toss the hot baked wings with the butter and hot sauce mixture. Arrange on a platter with dip and celery sticks, if desired.
