My favorite sauce is just Frank's red hot, butter, and enough cayenne powder to get the heat right
A very old episode of "Good Eats" had Alton steam the wings first before baking. I assume you could also fry them afterwards to crisp.
A food distributor, Arcobasco Foods, has a thick, hot sauce-based wing sauce, similar to Hooters TMI and Hot versions which I typically buy via Amazon in bulk.
