Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 pounds (about 9 pieces) chicken wings (flats and drumettes)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 1 cup of honey
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 1/2 jalapeƱo, chopped
- 1 tablespoon of red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425Ā° F.
- Place wings on a non-stick baking sheet and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Bake the wings at 425Ā° F for 20 minutes.
- While your wings are baking, prepare the hot pepper honey sauce. Combine honey, lemon juice, jalapeƱo, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a blender or food processor and blend the ingredients. I only pulsed my blender a couple of times because I prefer the sauce to be chunky. How much you blend the sauce is totally up to you.
- Using tongs, flip all of the wings over and cook for an additional 25 minutes. The wings are done when they have reached a minimum internal temperature of 165Ā° F.
- Once the wings are done, place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl, pour the hot pepper honey sauce on top, and combine.
- Serve and enjoy!
