Buffalo Wings (aka Hot Wings)

2 ½ lbs chicken wings (preferably organic)

3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (to drizzle, more as needed)

⅛ tsp salt (Kosher or sea salt)

6 oz Louisiana Hot Sauce (check the label, it should only have Peppers, Vinegar, Salt)

2 Tbsp butter

1 tsp dijon mustard (no preservatives added)

3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

⅛ tsp black pepper (freshly ground)

⅛ tsp hot pepper (optional, to increase the heat if you want super spicy wings)

Preheat oven to 425ºF (220ºC).
Wash and clean the chicken wings; trim off excess fat, and unwanted parts.
Drizzle the bottom of a large pan with olive oil, then arrange the wings in the pan.
Sprinkle with a little Kosher salt and drizzle with more olive oil.
Place in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove from the oven after half an hour and turn the wings, so they brown evenly.
Repeat two more times, for a total cooking time of 1 ½ hours, or until the wings are golden brown and starting to get crispy.
Remove the wings from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined bowl.
While the wings are baking, put all the sauce ingredients into a large pot, then bring to a boil while mixing well; then remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Next, put the wings into the pot with the sauce, cover with a lid and shake to coat them well.
Serve with buttermilk ranch or blue cheese, celery sticks, and bread.
