To make the spicy honey glaze, you’ll need a combination of honey, hot sauce, soy sauce, and spices such as garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. The honey adds a natural sweetness to the glaze, while the hot sauce and spices give it a kick of heat and flavor.
Before baking the wings, you’ll want to season them with a mixture of salt, pepper, and any additional spices you prefer.

Preparation of Spicy Honey Glazed Chicken Wings
Spicy honey glazed chicken wings are a delicious and flavorful dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer or a main course. To prepare these wings, you will need a few key ingredients and some basic cooking techniques.
Start by marinating the chicken wings in a mixture of honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, and your choice of spices. Allow the wings to marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb all the flavors.
Meanwhile, preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. If grilling, make sure to oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Once the wings are marinated, place them on the grill or a baking sheet if using the oven. Cook the wings for about 10-15 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through and have a nice charred glaze.
While the wings are cooking, prepare the glaze by combining honey, hot sauce, and a squeeze of lime juice. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are combined.
Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the heat and immediately brush them with the honey glaze. Make sure to coat them generously for maximum flavor. Serve the wings hot and enjoy!
Cooking Instructions for Spicy Honey Glazed Chicken Wings
To make spicy honey glazed chicken wings, start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Then, line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the chicken wings cook evenly and allow any excess fat to drain. Next, pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them on the wire rack. Season the wings with salt and pepper to taste. Now, it’s time to make the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of honey, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of hot sauce, and 1 teaspoon of minced garlic. Cook the glaze over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Once the glaze is ready, remove it from the heat. Brush the glaze generously over the chicken wings, making sure they are well coated. Place the wings in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. As an optional step, you can broil the wings for a couple of minutes at the end to give them a crispier texture. Serve the spicy honey glazed chicken wings hot and enjoy!
