Ingredients you will need for this recipe.Â
Chicken wings: Separate the wing portions into a drum and flat. Remove the tips and use them to prepare chicken stock so nothing is wasted.Â
Salt: It enhances the taste of the wings.Â
Oil:Â It is used as a binder to help keep the spices on the wings and also prevents the wings from sticking to the rack.
Seasoning Mix: A blend of sweet smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, ginger powder, black pepper, and marjoram adds a depth of flavour to the chicken wings. Basil or thyme can be used in place of marjoram.
Aluminium-free baking powder: It’s the secret to getting crispy wings. Coat the wings with baking powder just before baking. Corn or potato starch is great substitutes.Â
Unsalted Butter: Butter adds richness and flavour to the hot honey sauce. It also helps coat the sauce on the wingsÂ
Honey- Use light or mildly flavoured honey. A strong flavoured honey may impact the taste of the hot honey.Â
Hot Sauce: Use any hot sauce of your choice. Frank’s Red Hot is my favourite.Â
In a saucepan over medium heat add unsalted butter to melt. Mix in hot sauce and honey. Simmer over low heat until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat.Â
Toss the wings in the sauce to coat.Â
