The coolest thing about hot wings is that there are so many different ways to make them. This can come in handy on Super Bowl Sunday. It's especially handy when you have a ton of people coming over because you can make it so there's something for everyone. Here's what I call Mama's Wings with different sauces from mild to fiery hot.

Ingredients for Mama's Wings:

5 lbs uncooked chicken wings

Frank's Red Hot (gallon size)

*Crushed Red Pepper (1 bag or jar)

Directions for Mama's Wings:

No matter which flavor you choose, the basic directions for making Mama's Wings are the same. Preheat the oven to 400F. Clean the wings and place them on a foil-lined cookie sheet. Cook them at 400F for about 30 minutes. Take them out and spread on the sauce of your choice. Put them back in for about 30 more minutes. Take the wings out and spread more sauce over the top. Then, serve with ranch dressing, carrot sticks, and celery.
