Why You’ll Love Honey Garlic Jalapeño Wings I tweaked the recipe for these hot wings until it reached absolute perfection. The spicy sauce for these wings is made out of jalapeño peppers and some beer, plus honey to add a little bit of sweetness. A few Pro Tips: Wings: I added cornstarch to the wings because it’ll help the wings get crispier in the smoker. Honey Garlic Jalapeño Sauce: When making the sauce, keep stirring so that the sugar in the honey doesn’t burn. Sour Cream Drizzle: Add water to the sour cream mixture to thin it out as needed so it spreads nicely over the wings. Alternatively, serve it as a dipping sauce on the side.

Honey Garlic Jalapeño Wings Ingredients If this is your first time cooking chicken wings, remember that they do tend to have longer cook times. These tender baked chicken wings only take 10-15 minutes of prep, but they also take 1 hour and 15 minutes to cook. To create these spicy chicken wings, you’ll need whole wings with kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cornstarch. You’ll toss them in a honey garlic jalapeño sauce made out of honey, beer, minced garlic, fresh jalapeños, cilantro, clarified butter, and lime juice. You’ll garnish your wings with a mixture made out of mayonnaise, sour cream, hot sauce, lime juice, and water, as well as cilantro and chile con limon seasoning. This recipe serves 4.

How to Make Honey Garlic Jalapeño Wings The Prep Work To cook this delicious chicken wings recipe, begin by lathering your chicken wings in vegetable oil and mixing your salt, pepper and garlic with the cornstarch in a large bowl. Season the wings thoroughly and set to the side. In a squeeze bottle, mix the ingredients for the sour cream and set to the side. Preheat a grill to medium heat (around 350F) for two zone indirect cooking. Smoke and Serve Add your chicken wings to the cool side of the grill and cook indirectly for about 45-60 minutes or until their internal temperature reaches 175F. Make sure to flip them as necessary to prevent burning. Once done, pull the wings off, place them onto a baking sheet and keep warm. Next, add a cast iron skillet to the grill. Toss in some clarified butter and your minced garlic, cooking for 2 minutes until browned. Next, add your chopped jalapeño and cook for 1 minute. Deglaze with the beer and let simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Finally, add the rest of the ingredients and let simmer over the heat, consistently stirring, until the sauce has thickened and caramelized (about 8-10 minutes). Watch your heat so that the sauce does not burn! If it does begin to burn, trash it and try again. Once the sauce is good, pull it off the grill. Add your chicken wings to a bowl and toss them in the sauce. Continue to toss until each piece of chicken is coated in a single layer of sauce. Garnish the wings with the sour cream drizzle, chopped cilantro and a dash of chile con limon. Serve and enjoy!
