Hot Honey and Garlic wings
Our absolute favourite way to eat chicken wings. Beautiful flavours with a great sweet and hot sticky sauce. I don’t believe it gets any better than this. Serve with chips and a beer but make plenty because these are a greedy meal.
- 2 Cloves of garlic finely chopped
- A few drops of Franks hot sauce (I use the red hot wings) not as hot as its sounds
- A few good glugs of Sauce shop Honey Sriracha
- A good glug of runny honey
- Sesame seeds to decorate
- Spring onions to decorate
Method.
If it’s Sue and I then I start with a standard 1kg pack of fresh chicken wings. I often separate the 2 half’s which makes for prettier eating. Firstly I dust my wings with a few spoonfuls of baking powder, This is not critical for this recipe but always gives a crispier shin with wings. Then I liberally rub the wings with a honey or sweet based bbq rub, I used Angus and Oink honey chilli but your have bbq powder rub will do. Then on my Kamado set as direct cooking I cook the wings at about 190c and cooked them until at least the safe 73C but they are better for this cook at low 90c which gives me perfectly cooked wings with a crispy crunchy skin. Perfection.
Meanwhile whilst the chicken is cooking or resting you can prepare the sauce. I do this in a cast iron pan and pop it in with the chicken but just as good if you cook this in a regular pan in the kitchen. Firstly fry off the garlic for a couple minutes but dont let it burn, we are looking for softened. Then pop in the sauces and warm through, We don’t need to boil this sauce just warm and thicken slightly. Depending on how it looks and importantly tastes you can add more of either of the sauces, We are not fans of too much heat so I add the gorgeous Sriracha and Honey if needed.
Once gooey and warm pour most of the sauce over the chicken and toss, add the seeds and spring onions and enjoy.
Serve the remaining sauce as a dip sauce.
Tips.
For crispier wings coat with baking powder before a bbq rub an hour before cooking, then add flavours afterwards
I cook to temperature every single cook and not time. Every oven is slightly different and especially BBQ ovens. It’s a fabulous habit to Get into and produces perfect meats and fish every time.
