How to Cook Honey Garlic Chicken Wings THE SEASON FOR SEASONING Okay, but let’s be honest. It’s always the season for seasoning because any great recipe begins with great seasonings! So, first, lather your chicken wings with canola oil, then mix together chipotle garlic seasoning and cornstarch. This is your spice rub. The seasoning obviously adds flavor while the cornstarch helps absorb moisture and gives the Honey Chipotle Garlic Chicken Wings that delicious, crispy exterior. You could also sub this seasoning for Nashville Hot if you want spicier chicken, or Maple Peach if you want something sweeter. Rub the outside of the wings thoroughly with the seasonings, then set them aside. Add flavor to everything you’re cooking shop over the fire spice lines GRILL THE CHICKEN WINGS Next, let’s cook. Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat of around 325F for direct cooking. Add the seasoned chicken wings onto the grill and let them cook for 8-10 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on them as they cook and move them around as needed to make sure they don’t burn, because no one likes charred Honey Chipotle Garlic Chicken Wings. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the wings is 175F. Then, pull them off of the grill and keep them warm. MAKE THE SAVORY SAUCE Next up, we make our homemade Honey Garlic Sauce. Add a cast-iron skillet to the hot grill and then kick the heat up to 400F. To the skillet, add the sauce ingredients – unsalted butter, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, chipotle puree, and a couple tablespoons of bourbon or whiskey. Let it simmer for roughly 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. Make sure you keep a close eye on the sauce because the high temperature can cause it to burn pretty quickly. If it does burn, ditch it and start over. Once it’s nice and thick, pull the sauce off of the heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.If you love this honey and chipotle combo, then give it a try on some Lamb Ribs!
