2 1/2 to 3 pounds chicken wings
3/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup hot sauce
1 envelope dry onion soup mix
1 to 3 teaspoons ground red pepper
1 (8 ounce) bottle blue cheese dressing

Cut off and discard wing tips; cut wings in half at joint. Place chicken on a lightly greased rack of a broiler pan; set aside.

Melt butter in a small saucepan; add hot sauce, soup mix and red pepper. Brush chicken with butter mixture. Bake at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes. Remove from oven; turn chicken and brush with remaining butter mixture.

Bake 10 to 15 additional minutes or until tender. Serve warm with salad dressing.

Yields about 3 dozen.
