Print Recipe

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.

Ingredients

For the wings:

  • 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

For the hot wing sauce:

  • 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)

Optional for serving:

  • Celery sticks

  • Ranch or blue cheese dip

  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  • 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.
