Fried Honey BBQ Wings

From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

These fried honey BBQ wings are exactly the appetizer you need in your life. They’re incredibly flavorful and delicious.

They’re so crispy on the outside and super juicy on the inside. Sometimes we eat these plain without even tossing them in the sauce because they’re already so flavorful and delicious.

But adding that sweet honey BBQ sauce sure does take them to the next level. I’ve made these for so many family get togethers, parties, and game days that I’ve lost count.

Everyone absolutely loves them every time they’re served, no matter the occasion. I always get so many compliments on them.

It’s so great to have some crowd pleasing appetizers in your recipe collection, and this one is a wonderful addition.

Just be sure to serve these with some extra napkins. These wings are messy to eat, but they’re so worth it. Trust me!

The first time I made these for my family, they told me it was their favorite chicken wing recipe I’ve made to date.

I hope you give this one a try. If you do, I know you’ll love it just as much as my family and friends.

Fried Honey BBQ Wings Variations

I love this recipe for chicken wings made just the way it is, but here are some ways to change it up if you’d like to.

• Chicken- you can make this recipe with almost any cut of chicken but it’s really great with chicken tenders. Just be sure to adjust cooking times and make sure that the chicken is cooked all the way through.
• Seasoning- add any additional seasons to the chicken and flour that you’d like to.
• Sauce- these wings don’t need any additional sauce but if you’re a ranch or blue cheese fan, some extra sauce is never a bad idea.

Fried Honey BBQ Wings Ingredients

• Chicken Wings, separated into drums and flats
• Flour
• BBQ Sauce
• Honey
• Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder and Paprika
• Peanut or Canola Oil (enough to fill the skillet up two inches

Instructions

First, separate the chicken wings into drums and flats, pat them dry with a paper towel, and add them to a large bowl.

Now, season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Then, toss the chicken wings into the seasoning until they’re evenly combined.

Next, in a medium-sized bowl, add the flour and season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Now, stir the seasoning into the flour until it’s evenly combined.

Then, coat the chicken wings in the flour and place them in a bowl.

Next, pop the chicken wings into the fridge for one hour and KEEP THE REST OF THE FLOUR.

Now, add the chicken wings back into the flour and coat them again.

Then, in a large, lipped skillet, add the oil and heat it over medium-high heat.

Then, fry the chicken wings in batches until they are cooked through and golden brown on all sides. This should take a total of 8-10 minutes.

Next, carefully remove the chicken wings and place them on a wire rack to drain.

Now, in a medium-sized saucepan, heat the BBQ sauce and honey over medium-high heat, stirring frequently for about 3 minutes.

Now, in a large bowl, add the chicken wings and BBQ sauce, and toss them together until the wings are coated in the sauce.

Finally, serve warm and enjoy!
