Gordon Ramsay’s hot wings are marinated chicken wings, oven-baked or fried until golden and crispy, then tossed in a rich and spicy sauce made with hot sauce, garlic, butter, and a splash of vinegar. These wings deliver restaurant-level quality with simple ingredients.
1 kg chicken wings, split into drumettes and flats
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Salt and black pepper, to taste
50g unsalted butter
100ml hot sauce (e.g., Frank’s RedHot)
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 garlic clove, finely grated
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Pinch of chili flakes (optional, for extra heat)
Celery sticks
Ranch or blue cheese dip
Lemon wedges
Prep the wings: Pat the wings dry with paper towels. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
Bake or fry:
Oven method: Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Place wings on a wire rack over a baking tray. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy.
Frying method: Heat oil to 180°C (350°F) and fry wings in batches for 8–10 minutes until crisp.
Make the sauce: In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Stir in hot sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire, garlic, paprika, and chili flakes. Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes.
Toss wings in sauce: Place cooked wings in a bowl. Pour the hot sauce over and toss until evenly coated.
Serve immediately: Plate hot and crispy with dips and celery on the side.
