Notes

TIPS
  1. For an added kick, add more chili flakes or consider using smoked paprika.
  2. Always allow your wings to come to room temperature before baking; this ensures even cooking.
  3. Instead of baking, these Honey BBQ Chicken Wings can also be grilled. Just make sure to monitor them closely to prevent charring.
  4. Honey can be quite sweet; adjust to taste if you prefer a tangier BBQ flavor.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS
    • Serve your Honey BBQ Chicken Wings with a side of crunchy celery sticks and carrot sticks.
    • Consider a blue cheese or ranch dip to complement the sweetness of the Honey BBQ.
    • A refreshing coleslaw or a green salad can balance out the flavors perfectly.
    • And, of course, don’t forget some napkins – things might get a little messy!
