If you love wings with the perfect balance of heat and sweetness, these Hot Honey BBQ Wings are for you. They're easy to make, packed with bold flavors, and guaranteed to impress your taste buds.
Start by preheating your grill or smoker to 375°F (190°C). While the grill is heating up, grab your chicken wings and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. Removing excess moisture helps the seasoning stick better and ensures a crispy finish.
Next, take a large mixing bowl and sprinkle the Kosmos Q Buffalo Wing Dust generously over the wings. Toss them gently to coat each wing evenly, until they look like Cheetos! Set the wings aside for a moment while your grill or smoker reaches the desired temperature.
Once the grill is ready, arrange the seasoned wings directly on the grates. Close the lid and let them cook undisturbed for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, use a pair of tongs to flip the wings and cook them for another 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them during this time—you want a golden, crispy finish with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Using a thermometer probe will ensure you don't burn the wings.
While the wings are cooking, prepare your glaze. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of hot honey with a generous drizzle of Kosmos Q Apple Habanero BBQ Glaze. Watch out when adding the 7 Pepper Wing Dust to the honey — it packs some serious heat.
Once the wings are fully cooked, use a basting brush to coat each wing with the glaze. Place the wings back on the grill for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the glaze caramelize slightly.
When the wings are done, transfer them to a serving platter. The caramelized glaze creates a beautiful, sticky coating that screams flavor. Garnish the wings with freshly chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for a pop of color and a touch of freshness. Serve them alongside ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
These Hot Honey BBQ Wings are everything you could want in a wing: crispy, juicy, sweet, and spicy. Perfect for game day, family gatherings, or any occasion, they’re guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.
