After 12-15 minutes turn wings using tongs and cook for an additional 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown. For extra crispy skin, put wings under the broiler.

Cook for 10-12 minutes, until one side is golden brown and cooked through. Then turn wings with tongs and cook for another 8-10 minutes approximately, until wings are golden brown.

Now, you can really ratchet up the heat by adding a bit more crushed red pepper to this. Just be prepared for the extra zing.
