Honey Habanero Wings Recipe (with Video)

Instructions for Honey Habanero Wings Sauce
1. To roast habanero peppers, wash and dry them.
2. Heat a skillet over high heat, add 1 tsp of olive oil (optional), and carefully place the peppers in the skillet. Let them sit for 1-2 minutes to blister and char.
3. Turn the peppers using tongs to expose all sides to heat, cooking for another 1-3 minutes. Look for a slightly charred appearance.
4. Transfer to a plate using tongs and set aside for blending.
5. In a medium pan or pot over low heat, melt the butter, add the hot sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika and garlic powder.
6. Whisk until the ingredients start to caramelize.
7. Add the wing sauce into a blender along with the Habaneros (stems cut off) and blend on low speed until the habaneros break down into the sauce. (do not over-blend)
8. Keep sauce in the blender container or pour in a glass jar with a lid until the wings are done frying.

3. Drain chicken on a wire cooling rack then transfer the wings into a large mixing bowl.
4. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss until all the wings are coated. Enjoy!
