The Season for Seasoning

Okay, but let’s be honest. It’s always the season for seasoning. 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 give the Honey Chipotle Garlic Chicken Wings that delicious crispy exterior.

Rub the outside of the wings thoroughly with the seasonings, then set them aside.

Grill Your Honey Chipotle Garlic Chicken Wings

Next, let’s cook. Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat of around 325ºF 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. No one likes charred Honey Chipotle Garlic Chicken Wings. Or maybe they do, in which case you can just let them burn up. (Just kidding. I don’t recommend that, because it really isn’t good.)

Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the wings is 175ºF. then pull them off of the grill and keep them warm.

Let’s Get Sauced!

Next up, the sauce for our Honey Chipotle Garlic Chicken Wings.

Add a cast-iron skillet to the hot grill and kick the heat up to 400ºF. To the skillet, add 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. The high heat can cause it to burn pretty quickly. If it does burn, ditch it and start over. Burnt Honey Chipotle Garlic Sauce is not the way to go.

Once it’s nice and thick, pull the sauce off of the heat and let it cool for 10 minutes.

Toss Things Up to Finish Your Honey Chipotle Garlic Chicken Wings

Lastly, it’s time to combine the cooked chicken and the sauce to make our Honey Chipotle Garlic Chicken Wings.

So, add the wings to a large bowl and drizzle the sauce on top. Gently toss to coat the wings in the sauce. Be thorough because you want to get all that flavor on all sides.

To finish, garnish the wings with a sprinkle of chopped parsley, then dig in!
