Ingredients
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Drop the chicken wings into the boiling water and cook for 8 more minutes.
- In a bowl, mix the hot sauce, margarine or butter, and Dijon mustard if using.
- Microwave the sauce mixture in short intervals, stirring each time until smooth and heated through.
- Add the Good Seasons package to the sauce mixture and stir well.
- Brush the sauce onto the cooked wings.
- Bake the coated wings at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes, without turning during cooking.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider marinating the wings in the sauce for a few hours or overnight. If you prefer a milder sauce, reduce the amount of Louisiana hot sauce or add a bit of honey for sweetness. You can substitute the margarine with olive oil or coconut oil if you want a dairy-free option. The Dijon mustard adds a nice tang, but feel free to omit it if you prefer a simpler flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These wings pair wonderfully with celery sticks and a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. Serve them alongside a fresh salad or coleslaw for a complete meal. They can also be enjoyed as a game day snack or at a casual gathering, making them an excellent choice for entertaining. For a delicious complement, try them with Dottie'S Barbecue Sauce for a different flavor profile.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through. This helps maintain the crispiness of the wings without drying them out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings. However, make sure to thaw them completely before boiling. You may need to increase the cooking time slightly if they are still partially frozen to ensure they are fully cooked.

These chicken wings are great on their own but can be served with sides like potato wedges, a fresh vegetable platter, or a light salad. For a fun twist, consider pairing them with a cold beer or a fruity cocktail for a complete experience.
How do I make these wings spicier?
To increase the heat, you can add additional Louisiana hot sauce to the sauce mixture or toss the wings with some cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes before baking. Adjust the spice level to your preference to ensure the wings have the kick you desire.
