Ingredients:

• For the Sauce:
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (Frank’s RedHot or similar, choose one with a good base)
  • 1/2 cup fresh habanero sauce or 2-3 finely chopped fresh habanero peppers (or any other super-hot peppers like Ghost Pepper or Scorpion Pepper)
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper (or more for extra heat)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for extra depth)
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes or powder (optional, for additional heat)
  • Salt to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons of Caribbean-style hot sauce (like Scorpion or Ghost Pepper sauce, depending on your heat tolerance)
• For the Wings:
  • 12 whole chicken wings (about 2 pounds)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/4 cup flour (for extra crispy wings)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Wings

1. Clean and Dry the Wings: Rinse your wings under cold water to remove any residue, then dry them thoroughly with paper towels to ensure they become crispy.
2. Coat with Oil and Season: Toss the wings in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper. If you prefer crispy wings, you can toss them in a bit of flour.
3. Bake or Fry the Wings:
   • Baking: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
   • Frying: Heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C) in a deep fryer or large pot. Fry the wings in batches for 8-10 minutes until crispy and golden brown, then drain on paper towels.

Step 2: Make the Super Spicy Buffalo Sauce

1. Melt Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter slowly. You want to make sure it melts evenly, without browning.
2. Add Hot Sauce and Fresh Habaneros (or other hot peppers): Pour in your hot sauce and add either the habanero sauce or finely chopped fresh habaneros. Be cautious while handling these peppers as they’re extremely hot. Wear gloves if necessary.
3. Add Vinegar and Worcestershire Sauce: Stir in the white vinegar for tang and Worcestershire sauce for depth.
4. Boost the Heat: Add cayenne pepper, chili flakes, and extra hot pepper sauce (such as Scorpion or Ghost pepper sauce). Stir the sauce to combine all the ingredients.
5. Season with Garlic and Onion Powder: Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika (if using). Taste the sauce and adjust with salt, pepper, or additional hot sauce to match your heat preference.
6. Simmer: Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 3: Coat the Wings

1. Toss the Wings in the Sauce: Once your wings are cooked and crispy, place them in a large bowl and pour the super spicy buffalo sauce over them. Toss thoroughly to coat every wing in the fiery sauce.
2. Serve: Serve your buffalo wings with cooling sides like ranch or blue cheese dressing and plenty of celery or carrot sticks to help balance the heat.

Heat Tips:

• If you want it even hotter, increase the amount of habaneros or switch to more potent peppers like Ghost Peppers, Carolina Reaper, or Scorpion Peppers.
• If you’re daring, you can blend in the seeds from the peppers to make the sauce even more intense.
• Keep in mind that milk and dairy will help cool the mouth when eating these wings, so be sure to have some on hand if you’re sensitive to heat!

This recipe will definitely push the limits of spicy foods—perfect for those looking for an intense, fiery buffalo wing experience!
