  • Customizable Heat: Adjust the spice level to suit your taste—turn it up or tone it down!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for mashed potatoes)

How to Make Spicy Glazed Chicken Wings with Mashed Potatoes

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  4. While the wings are baking, prepare the mashed potatoes. In a large pot, add the cubed potatoes and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  5. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the heavy cream, milk, and 2 tablespoons of butter. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and hot sauce together. Once the wings are done baking, toss them in the spicy glaze until well coated.
  7. Serve the spicy glazed chicken wings alongside the creamy mashed potatoes, and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

  • For extra crispy wings, pat them dry with paper towels before seasoning.
  • Adjust the hot sauce to your preferred spice level—add more for a fiery kick!
  • If you have time, marinate the wings in the spice mixture for a few hours or overnight for deeper flavor.

Easy Variations

  • For a BBQ twist, substitute the hot sauce with your favorite barbecue sauce.
  • Try adding a tablespoon of honey to the glaze for a sweet-spicy combination.
  • Swap out mashed potatoes for mashed cauliflower for a lighter option.

What to Serve With It

  • Fresh veggie sticks with ranch dressing for dipping.
  • A simple green salad with a light vinaigrette to balance the richness.
  • Garlic bread for an extra carb hit.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the wings in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through, about 10-15 minutes. Mashed potatoes can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk if they’ve thickened.
