Nashville Hot Chicken is the brainchild of Prince's Fried Chicken in Nashville, TN, USA. It's been a Nashville icon for over 50 years and now it's a trend that's sweeping the nation. If you're into hot wings, you've got to try these!
Line a baking pan with foil, then place a rack (like a cooling rack) on the foil. Spray the rack with cooking oil spray. This makes for quick clean up.
Place wings in a large bowl or in a zip top bag. Add the baking powder and salt, then toss to coat evenly. I find a zip top is easiest for this with less mess.
Place the wings on the baking tray in a single layer with the skin side up. They will fit snugly.
Place wings on the lower middle oven rack and bake for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, for the sauce add all ingredients to a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
Remove baking pan from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Toss the wings in the hot sauce.
Serve with extra sauce and dill pickles slices.
Notes
Alter the spice level by using more or less cayenne pepper.
