Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

How to Make Spicy Chicken Wings with Mashed Potatoes

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss until the wings are evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
  4. While the wings are baking, prepare the mashed potatoes. Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. 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, butter, and salt and pepper to taste. Mash until smooth and creamy.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the hot sauce and melted butter. Once the wings are done baking, toss them in the sauce until fully coated.
  7. Serve the spicy chicken wings alongside creamy mashed potatoes, garnished with chopped green onions.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For extra crispy wings, consider broiling them for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
  • Adjust the heat level of the sauce by adding more or less hot sauce.
  • Let the mashed potatoes sit covered after mashing to keep them warm until serving.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute the hot sauce with your favorite wing sauce, such as BBQ or teriyaki, for a different flavor profile.
  • Add shredded cheese to the mashed potatoes for a creamy, cheesy twist.
  • Experiment with fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme in the potatoes for added flavor.

What to Serve With It

  • A fresh garden salad for a light contrast.
  • Celery and carrot sticks with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
  • Your favorite dipping sauces, like ranch, blue cheese, or extra hot sauce.

Storage and Reheating

Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. Mashed potatoes can be stored in the fridge for the same duration and reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of cream to restore creaminess.
