Buffalo Honey Hot Wings and Traditional Buffalo Hot Wings

Sticky Buffalo Honey Hot Wings coated in a flavorful rub then smothered in a perfect marriage of honey, molasses and Hot Wings Sauce.  I’ve also included a recipe for the BEST traditional Hot Wings.

 1.  Traditional Buffalo Hot Wings Sauce tastes like traditional hot wings flavor by combining hot sauce, molasses and butter – traditional and amazing.

2.  Buffalo Honey Hot Wings Sauce (pictured in this post) is a balance of honey and hot sauce for the sweet and spicy combination I adore.  This sauce also uses molasses and butter but the primary ingredient is honey which is then spiced with hot WINGS sauce instead of regular hot sauce – which is much spicier than traditional hot sauce allowing you to use less of it and can keep honey as the main ingredient.  You can adjust the heat to your liking.

• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground celery seed

Traditional Buffalo Hot Wings Sauce

• (Hot sauce unites with a touch of molasses for the traditional hot wings flavor)
• 2/3 cup Frank's ORIGINAL Hot Sauce (NOT hot wings sauce) mixed with 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon molasses
• 1 tablespoon butter

Buffalo Honey Hot Wings Sauce

• (Honey is the dominant ingredient in this sauce for sticky hot wings while still being hot by using Hot WINGS sauce)
• 2-3 tablespoons Frank's Hot WINGS Sauce (NOT original hot sauce like above) mixed with 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoons molasses

Buffalo Mild Honey Hot Wings

• 2/3 cup Frank's ORIGINAL Hot Sauce (NOT hot wings sauce) mixed with 2 teaspoons cornstarch

• 1 tablespoon molasses
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1-3 teaspoons Hot Wings Sauce (Optional for hotter wings)

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Line baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. Top baking sheet with baking rack/oven proof cooling rack and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together Rub Ingredients. Add half of the Rub to a large freezer bag. Add half of the wings and shake until coated evenly. Line wings on prepared baking rack so they are not touching. Add remaining Rub ingredients and wings to freezer bag and repeat.
3. Bake on upper middle rack for 45-50 minutes. Move oven rack approximately 6-8" from broiler and broil to desired crispiness, watching closely so they don't burn. Flip chicken wings over and broil the other side until crispy.
4. The prep for all of the sauces is the same. **While wings are cooling, melt butter over medium heat. Add remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce to a simmer until slightly thickened, approximately 3-5 minutes. Taste and add additional hot sauce for spicier sauces/more honey for sweeter.
5. When chicken is done, add to a large bowl and pour over sauce. Gently toss wings with a spatula until evenly coated.
6. Serve with desired Blue Cheese/ Ranch Dip, etc. dip
7. Dig in!
