For the Wings:
- 1 pound bone-in, skin-on chicken wing portions (thawed if frozen)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup hot sauce (choose your favorite)
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your wings will cook evenly and get that perfect crispy texture.
Step 2: Prepare the Wings - In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Toss the thawed chicken wings in the flour mixture until they are fully coated. This will help create a crispy outer layer.
Step 3: Bake the Wings - Line your baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the coated wings in a single layer. Bake them in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 4: Make the Sauce - While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the hot sauce, honey, and unsalted butter. Stir until the butter is melted and the sauce is well combined. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
Step 5: Coat the Wings - Once the wings are done baking and crispy, remove them from the oven. Transfer the wings to a large mixing bowl and pour the honey buffalo sauce over them. Toss well to ensure that each wing is generously coated.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy - Serve your Honey Buffalo Wings immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or celery sticks if desired. Enjoy the delicious combination of sweet and spicy flavors!
- For a milder sauce, reduce the amount of hot sauce or opt for a milder variety.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of honey for varying sweetness levels.
