Spicy Ranch Chicken Wings

I got this recipe from Taste of Home. The prep time includes marinating time.

• Ready In: 8 hrs 40 mins
• Serves: 48
• Yields: 4 dozen

Ingredients

• 4  lbs  whole chicken wings
• 3⁄4 cup  hot pepper sauce
• 1⁄4 cup butter, melted
• 3  tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1 (1 ounce) envelope  ranch dressing mix
• 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika

Directions

1. Cut the chicken wings into three sections; discard wing tip sections.
2. In a gallon-size resealable plastic bag, combine the hot pepper sauce, butter and vinegar.
3. Add chicken wings, seal bag and toss to coat evenly.
4. Refrigerate for 4-8 hours.
5. Place chicken on racks in two greased 15-inch by 10-inch by 1-inch baking pans.
6. Sprinkle with dressing mix and paprika.
7. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes or until juices run clear.
8. Note: 3 pounds of uncooked chicken wing sections (wingettes) may be substituted for the whole chicken wings. Omit the first step.
