Ingredients:
2 cans (12 oz. each) beer
1 pkg. (5 lbs.) frozen chicken wings, thawed
2 tsp. ground pepper
1 tsp. salt
3/4 c. cayenne pepper sauce (not hot pepper sauce)
1/4 c. (1/2 stick) butter, melted

Directions:
Set aside 1/3 c. beer.  Pour the remaining beer into a shallow dish; add the chicken wings, cover and marinate for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator; drain the wings.  

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.  Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil; coat the foil with cooking spray.  Season the wings with ground pepper and salt.  Place the wings on the baking sheets.  Bake for 30 minutes.  Turn the wings over and cook for another 25-30 minutes, or until crispy and no pink remains.  

In a large bowl, combine the cayenne pepper sauce, butter and the reserved 1/2 c. beer; mix well.  Add the chicken wings and toss until evenly coated.  Serve immediately.
