For sauce:
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp coarse black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup hot sauce (Frank's, Texas Pete, Tabasco, etc.)
- 1/4 to 3/4 tsp scorpion pepper sauce (Tropical Pepper Co.'s is good, though not as hot as some; adjust amount to desired heat level)
- 10 wing pieces (I prefer all drummies to flats)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp coarse black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic salt
- 1/4 tsp lemon pepper
- Preheat oven to 250°. While waiting, thoroughly mix the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.
- Drizzle the wings with the olive oil and rub to coat evenly. Pour the flour, salt, pepper, garlic salt, and lemon pepper into a lunch-size paper bag. Dump the wings into the bag, close securely, and shake vigorously until the wings are evenly coated.
- Place a wire rack in your baking tray and give it a good shot of cooking spray. Arrange the wings on the rack so air will circulate beneath the chicken. Bake at 250° for 30 minutes.
- Crank up the oven temperature to 450° and bake for 40 minutes. You may want to turn the wings about halfway through. These will be good and crispy.
- Just before the wings are done, pour the sauce into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Then drop each wing piece into the boiling sauce (two or three at a time is okay) for about a minute, turning with tongs every few seconds. Boiling the sauce allows the sugar in the honey to bond the sauce to the wings.
- Place the dead bird on a plate, devour, and holler.
