Ingredients

  • 2-3 pounds of chicken wings cut and the wing tips discarded & patted dry with paper towel
  • 1/2 teaspoon - 1 tsp cayenne pepper optional I didn't use this
  • sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees or pre-heat your BBQ, making sure to oil the grill.
  2. If using the oven, line a large baking sheet with tinfoil.
  3. Toss the chicken wings with the peppers, salt and then the oil to coat.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
  6. Remove the wings from the grill or the oven and toss them in the hot butter sauce to coat.
  7. 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 calculator adds in ALL of the sauce which you don't actually eat unless you lick the plates and in that case that's totally fine by me
