Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 cup honey
1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
1 tablespoon Louisiana hot sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 jalapenos, thinly sliced
1 serrano chile, thinly sliced

Ranch dressing, for serving

Steps:

  • For the wings: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil, then place a metal rack on the pan.
  • Pat the wings dry with kitchen paper, then sprinkle with the salt, pepper and smoked paprika on both sides. Place them on the rack, making sure they are not touching. Bake for 25 minutes, then pull them out. Use tongs to turn them over, then put them back in the oven and bake until golden brown and cooked through, an additional 20 minutes .
  • For the hot honey sauce: Meanwhile, add the honey, barbecue sauce, Louisiana hot sauce, vinegar, jalapenos and serranos to a small pot over low heat. Stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook on low until reduced and slightly thickened, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove the wings from the oven and turn the oven to broil. One by one, dunk the wings in the sauce. Place them back on the rack and broil for 3 minutes to caramelize.

Categories     Appetizers and Snacks     Spicy

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds chicken wings, tips discarded
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (add more if you can stand it)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup honey
½ cup butter, melted
½ cup hot sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil grate.
  • Wash the wings well and pat dry with paper towel. Season the meat with cayenne, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook the chicken wings on preheated grill until cooked through and juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes depending on the size of the wings. Brush the wings liberally using 1/2 cup of honey while they are cooking.
  • Melt the butter, pour into a large bowl and mix in the remaining 1/2 cup of honey and hot sauce. Remove the wings from the grill and immediately toss them in the hot honey butter sauce to coat. Serve the wings 'wet' or return them to the grill for 1 minute per side to set the sauce.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Wings: Select fresh, plump chicken wings with no bruises or discoloration. Larger wings are preferred as they have more meat.
  • Properly Cleaning the Wings: Remove the wing tips and cut each wing into three sections - the drumette, flat, and wingette. Rinse the wings thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels to ensure crispy skin.
  • Seasoning and Marinating: Use a combination of spices, herbs, and salt to create a flavorful rub. Paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper are commonly used. Marinating the wings for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight enhances the flavor.
  • Achieving Crispy Skin: To ensure crispy skin, pat the wings dry before cooking. Baking the wings on a wire rack allows air to circulate, resulting in a crispy exterior and juicy interior.
  • Cooking Temperature and Time: Bake the wings at a high temperature (425°F) for 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. This ensures that the wings are fully cooked and safe to consume.
  • Making the Honey Hot Sauce: Combine honey, hot sauce, melted butter, and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer and stir until the sauce thickens slightly. The sauce should have a balanced sweet and spicy flavor.
  • Coating the Wings in Sauce: Once the wings are cooked, toss them in the honey hot sauce to coat them evenly. You can adjust the amount of sauce depending on your desired level of spiciness.
  • Garnishing and Serving: Garnish the wings with fresh parsley or cilantro for added color and flavor. Serve the wings hot with additional honey hot sauce for dipping, along with your favorite sides like celery sticks, carrot sticks, and blue cheese dressing.
