BUFFALO HONEY HOT WINGS AND TRADITIONAL BUFFALO HOT WINGS
What You'll Need
- 24 chicken wings with skin (approx 3 pounds), rinsed and patted dry
- One teaspoon ground celery seed
- Two tablespoons baking powder
- Two tablespoons brown sugar
- Two teaspoons black pepper
- Two teaspoons chili powder
- Two teaspoons garlic powder
- Two teaspoons ground cumin
- Two teaspoons onion powder
- Two teaspoons salt
- Two teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2/3 cup Frank's Hot Sauce (NOT hot wings sauce) mixed with 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- Hot sauce unites with a touch of molasses for the traditional hot wings flavor
- One tablespoon butter
- One tablespoon molasses
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2-3 tablespoons Frank's Hot WINGS sauce (NOT traditional hot sauce like above) mixed with 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- Honey is the dominant ingredient in this sauce for sticky hot wings while still being hot by using Hot WINGS saucet
- One tablespoons molasses
- Two tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2/3 cup Frank's Hot Sauce (NOT hot wings sauce) mixed with 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- One tablespoon butter
- One tablespoon molasses
- Optional for hotter wings: 1+ teaspoons Hot Wings Sauce
- This sauce is the "in between" of the above sauces - more mild heat than traditional hot wings due to the addition of honey and the use of regular hot sauce (NOT hot wings sauce). If you like hotter wings add some Hot Wings Sauce

- Reduce to a simmer until slightly thickened, approximately 3-5 minutes.
