Honey BBQ Wings
If you’ve followed my blog for anytime at all you know I’m a little obsessed with wings. They really are my favorite food. I normally go for hot sauce and blue cheese or some other flavor with a kick. Today though I was craving something different. I wanted honey bbq.
Sure, I could dump bbq sauce on them, but why not make it from scratch? It’s always better from scratch. I mixed ketchup, vinegar, molasses, agave, paprika, chili powder, and more (all the ingredients and measurements are below).
I mixed all the ingredients together and brought it to a simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes. While my sauce was simmering I dropped my wings in the fryer. Yes, the fryer. I realize baked wings are better for you and if you want to bake yours you can then add the sauce 😉
Once they came out of the fryer I padded them dry.
I added 1/3 cup of the sauce and shook it up in a container until it was fully coated.
I made 10 wings and I had enough sauce left over to coat at least 20 more wings.
They were so good!
You can serve them with ranch or blue cheese, but I thought they were amazing on their own. The Honey BBQ is so flavorful it left me wanting more.
What’s your favorite way to eat wings?
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup white vinegar
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 1/4 cup agave nectar (you can substitute honey)
- 1 tsp liquid smoke (I used hickory flavor)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- Mix all ingredients together in a saucepan and heat until simmer.
- Let simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Once the wings are done cooking, pat dry and put into a sealable container.
- Add 1/3 cup of your sauce mixture and shake to coat.
- Enjoy!
