Description

Sweet and spicy baked chicken wings are coated with a zesty sauce flavored with an orange.

Ingredients

2 cups water
1/2 cup distilled white vinegar
1 cup white sugar, or to taste
7 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®), or to taste
1 1/2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
2/3 cup prepared yellow mustard
3 3/4 tablespoons ketchup
1 orange, peel and pith removed, chopped

Directions

1 Bring water, vinegar, sugar, hot pepper sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes to a boil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
2 Whisk yellow mustard and ketchup into the sauce.

4 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
5 Arrange the chicken wings in a large baking dish.
6 Bake in the preheated oven until the wings are browned and no longer pink inside, 30 to 45 minutes.
7 Stir the baked wings into the sauce to serve.
