Remove chicken wings from oven and toss with hot sauce mixture.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Use fresh chicken wings. Frozen chicken wings will not be as crispy.
Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. If you pack the chicken wings too tightly, they will not cook evenly.
Baste the chicken wings with the hot sauce mixture halfway through cooking. This will help them get extra crispy.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and celery sticks are all classic choices.
