Notes

  • Storage: Store hot honey wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Hot Honey: I used Mike's Hot Honey, but you can use homemade. To make your own hot honey, place ½ cup of honey in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons of hot sauce or 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes and stir to combine. Bring to a bubble, about 3 minutes, and then remove from the heat. Allow the honey to cool and then store it in the fridge until ready to use.
