These Spicy Honey BBQ Wings are a delightful twist on classic buffalo wings, combining sweet and spicy flavors for a crowd-pleasing dish.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil. Place a wire rack on top.
Using a wire rack helps the wings cook evenly and stay crispy.
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic, and sauté until fragrant.
Keep stirring to prevent the garlic from burning, which can make it bitter.
Stir in the dark beer, barbecue sauce, cayenne pepper sauce, ancho chilies, brown sugar, and honey. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Pat the chicken wings dry and arrange them on the prepared wire rack. Bake for 20 minutes, flip, and bake for another 20 minutes until crispy.
Drying the wings ensures they crisp up nicely in the oven.
Toss the baked wings in the sauce until evenly coated.
Toss gently to avoid breaking the wings.
Serve the wings hot with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for a fresh touch.
