Actually Hot Wings | Like Alton Brown's but Hotter
Make Crispy Hot Wings with the traditional Buffalo Wing taste that is actually hot. This Recipe started by following Alton Browns Hot Wing Recipe but for me they needed more heat. To accomplish the same flavor with more heat the key is to use a hot sauce with a very high Scoville Rating. In this recipe we use The End Hot Sauce from Pepper Palace with a Scoville Rating of 6,000,000. A little goes a long way.

Ingredients
Meat

Hot Sauce
- 1/4 cup Frank's Red Hot Sauce
- 1 tsp The End Hot Sauce 6,000,000 Scoville (or other extremely Hot Sauce) adjust to tolerance
- 5 tbsp Melted Butter unsalted
- 2 tsp Minced Garlic

Instructions
- Prepare Steamer with water below the bottom of the steamer
- Separate wings into Drummets, Flats and Tips. Set tips aside for later to make stock
- Steam wings in steamer for 10 minutes
- Place Steamed wings on baking rack on a baking sheet in refrigerator for one hour. Be careful not overcrowd we want airflow here.
- Preheat Oven to 425 degree F.
- Bake Wings in Center Rack for 20 minutes then flip the wing pieces and bake for another 20-30 min.
- During the last part of baking prepare your sauce by mixing melted butter, garlic and Frank's Red Hot Sauce in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the extremely hot sauce to the mix starting in 1/4 tsp quantities and tasting for tolerance. When using The End Hot Sauce I like what 1 full teaspoon does for the heat. You can always add more but the other direction is a bit tougher.
- Remove wings from oven and toss in the Wing Sauce.
- Serve Hot
