Hot Honey Butter Chicken Wings: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 27 minute

Ingredients

– 2 pounds chicken wings
– ½ cup honey
– ¼ cup unsalted butter
– 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust based on preferred spice level)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for extra heat)
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Hot Honey Butter Chicken Wings is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps them become crispy.
3. Season Wings: In a large bowl, combine garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Toss the wings in this seasoning mix until they are well coated.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier clean-up. Place the wings in a single layer on the baking sheet.
5. Bake: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
6. Prepare Honey Butter Sauce: While the wings are baking, melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir in honey, hot sauce, and mix until well combined.
7. Coat Wings: Once the wings are golden brown and cooked through, remove them from the oven. Drizzle the honey butter sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
8. Return to Oven: Place the wings back in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes to caramelize the sauce slightly. This step enhances the flavor and texture.
9. Check Doneness: Ensure that the wings are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
10. Garnish: Once done, remove from the oven, and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the wings for added color and flavor.
