A good way to get the heat into the wings before adding the sauce is to boil all your wing parts in a big stockpot filled with pepper, cayenne, and red pepper flakes. Boil them for 10 minutes.
Then you place them under the broiler for 15 minutes on each side. Then coat in your sauce. They end up crispy and delicious and the meat has a ton of flavor inside. We tend to use a basic Franks and butter mixture for the sauce.
Sticky wings:
Lay the wings out on a sheet pan and preheat the oven to 400.
Sprinkle wings generously with soy sauce, Tabasco sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Bake for 30 minutes, turn them over, bake for another 30 minutes.
Reeeeeeally salty finger-licking good.
Good god, this thread might be the best food thread in quite awhile. Everyone’s recipe sounds legitimately good.
bouv, how are you cooking the wings before you throw them in the pot? Or are you simmering them in the pot (and if so, roughly for how long?)
tr0psn4j, whenever my dad uses habaneros, afterwards he’ll blend some supercheap plain yogurt and then use the yogurt to make a chutney. You could always toss the yogurt too (it’d only be like 50 cents worth). Yogurt works better than washing well, but its not a requirement either.
Cook the wings by themselves however you prefer. Deep-fried is the standard, but baked, broiled, grilled should all be ok, if that’s your preference.
Ahh okay, thanks! 
I did the following: dried off the wings, dredged in some chili spices mixed with salt, then dredged in flour, knocking off the excess. Let them sit for about ten minutes to allow the salt to draw out any excess moisture, then rolled them in flour again. Fried in shallow oil about five minutes per side and tossed in a 1:1 Frank’s/butter mix. They were excellent, but could have had more heat.
