Detroit Honey Hot Wings
Description
The recipe calls for chicken wings cut and dried, tossed with salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper for heat. The wings are cooked either on a preheated BBQ grill or in the oven on foil, ensuring they reach full doneness with clear juices. The accompanying sauce is a blend of melted butter, honey, and hot sauce, mixed to taste and used immediately to coat the cooked wings.
After tossing in the sauce, the wings can be returned briefly to heat, allowing the sauce to set slightly and intensify the glaze. The balance of sweetness from honey with the spice from hot sauce creates a well-rounded flavor profile. These wings work well for gatherings or as a flavorful snack.
The recipe notes that the nutritional calculator includes the full amount of sauce, though not all sauce may actually be consumed by the eater.
The sauce amount listed may exceed what you actually consume, so nutritional values could be overestimated.
Ingredients
- 2-3 pounds chicken wings cut, wing tips discarded, patted dry with paper towel
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional I didn't use this, 1 tsp
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1/4 cup hot sauce
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees or pre-heat your BBQ, making sure to oil the grill.
- If using the oven, line a large baking sheet with tinfoil.
- Toss the chicken wings with the peppers, salt and then the oil to coat.
- Cook the chicken wings on the BBQ grill until completely cooked through and the juices run clear, 20 to 30 minutes. I using the oven, cook on the foil lined sheet until the juices run clear.
- Melt the butter, pour into a large bowl and mix in the 1/2 cup of honey and hot sauce. This is where you can season the sauce to your liking. My husband likes more hot sauce in this, I like it perfectly as it is. Taste test and see what you'd add more of right now!
- Remove the wings from the grill or the oven and toss them in the hot butter sauce to coat.
- If wanted, you can return to the oven for another 5 minutes to "set" the sauce a little more, but they can also be eaten right away!
Notes
- The nutritional values calculated may include all the sauce, but you might not eat all of it, so actual intake could be less.
