Buffalo Honey Hot Sauce Recipe

  • 1 Tsp Butter
  • ½ cup Franks Red hot Wing sauce
  • 2 to 3 Tbsps Honey
  • Pinch of Lemon pepper seasoning optional

*** Adjust sauce measurements as needed***

Instructions
 

  • Prep the chicken wings beforehand. Cut into flats and drums, discard the tip. Pat dry wings with a paper towel to ensure crispy wings.
  • Place wings in a large bowl and season with the dry seasonings (onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, cajun seasoning, & paprika). make sure the wings are nicely coated and seasoned.
  • Next, you can mix the flour and cornstarch together in a separate bowl or use a ziplock bag. Add the seasoned wings to the flour mixture and coat the wings, shaking off excess. Set the wings aside to rest while you heat up the oil.
  • Add enough oil for frying to a frying pan or Dutch oven and allow it to get hot (At least 325°F).
  • When the oil is ready, fry the wings in batches and don’t overcrowd the frying pan.
  • Cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked. Flip the chicken over halfway through cooking time if needed. The juices should run clear when done. Use a thermometer if needed to check for doneness.
  • You can place the cooked chicken on a wire rack pan or drain on paper towel and set aside.
  • Continue to fry the chicken in batches until all the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Next, prepare the sauce. Over medium to medium-high heat, add a tsp of butter to a pot.
  • Allow the butter to melt, add the buffalo wing sauce and honey. Mix everything together until the sauce is nice and smooth.
  • Optional: add a pinch of lemon pepper seasoning and let the sauce simmer for 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Do a taste test of the sauce and make any adjustments if needed.
  • Place the cooked wings in a bowl. Pour the buffalo honey hot sauce over the wings and toss until the wings are nicely coated.
  • Serve the wings with French fries, celery sticks/carrot sticks and ranch or blue cheese dipping sauces. Enjoy!
