Ah, Honey Butter Chicken Wings—crispy, sweet, and savory wings that are addictive! Here’s a full recipe to make them at home:
Honey Butter Chicken Wings Recipe
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 2 lbs (900g) chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2–3 tbsp vegetable oil
For the Honey Butter Sauce:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- Optional: pinch of chili flakes for a mild kick
Instructions
- Preheat Oven – 400°F (200°C)
- Prepare Wings
- Pat wings dry with paper towels (this helps them get crispy).
- Toss with oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Bake Wings
- Place on a foil-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake 35–45 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Make Honey Butter Sauce
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat.
- Stir in honey, minced garlic, and chili flakes if using. Cook 1–2 min until smooth.
- Toss Wings in Sauce
- Place baked wings in a large bowl and pour honey butter sauce over them.
- Toss until evenly coated.
- Serve
- Serve hot, with celery sticks or a dipping sauce if desired.
💡 Tips for Best Honey Butter Wings:
- Extra crispy: Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking.
- Make ahead: Bake wings first, then reheat and toss in sauce right before serving.
- Spicy version: Add sriracha or cayenne to the sauce for a sweet-heat combo.
If you want, I can also give a “one-pan stovetop honey butter wings” version that’s faster, super sticky, and just as delicious—no oven required.
