Easy Honey Mustard Chicken Wings Recipe with awesome sauce (2024)

Easy Honey Mustard Sauce for Chicken Wings

When it comes to chicken wing recipes, we’re always addicted to different types of sauces and continually making homemade variations of our favorites and honey mustard is on top of our list. Tangy sweet, sticky and wonderful this is the sauce to have for honey mustard lovers and a great batch of honey mustard chicken wings. Like we mentioned earlier, you can use the sauce on almost anything savory: rice, pasta, vegetables or even as a sauce in a sandwich.

We love this honey mustard sauce. So many times we’ll get a honey mustard sauce that is too cloyingly sweet and doesn’t have a nice balance. We’ve developed this one to have a nice mustard tang, just enough sweetness from the honey. And then we made sure to give it a nice thickness so it coats the wings well. Add in the Worcestershire sauce to give depth of flavor and then the spices to for customizable taste. Sometimes we’ll amp up the cayenne or smoked paprika if we are craving a little extra spice or smokiness. It is so easy to adjust to whatever you are craving at the moment.

Different ways to cook the wings

The fun part about making chicken wings is that you can use different cooking techniques. We wrote aboutdifferent ways to cook wingsand how to make them healthier on our chicken recipe box site. Though everyone sauces them differently, either before baking or after or both, it’s great to be able to have options on preparing them. The great thing about baking them before saucing is that you can easily make multiple sauces, and toss the chicken wings in whichever one the devourer prefers. For the fire-tongues, ourSriracha Chicken Wing saucealmost always needs to be present at our gatherings.

We even have a “healthy” version where you can pre-poach or pre-steam these honey mustard chicken wings before baking, which helps render much of the excess fat. You can still enjoy the wings without the guilt.

Hope you enjoy the honey mustard chicken wings, this cold season and celebrate another delicious start to a new year. And if you want an added appetizer bonus, you must try this buffalo chicken dip!

Garden Updates

It always seems like this time of year we’re swimming in seasonal cues: chicken wings and fall/wintet fruits. Though they’re both in the food world, they’re quite random when discussed in the same sentence. So why is it that our lives are consumed by wings, pomegranates and persimmons? Well, it’s the season of baseball play-offs, football gaining momentum and our game-day weekends are always dotted with different types of chicken wings and lots of napkins. Sticky, sweet, tangy, spicy and filled with umami flavors are what our chicken wings are dripping with. Then there’s the garden with a good handful of fall ripening fruit. We’re consumed by everything pomegranates, persimmons, dragon fruit, asian pears and more exotics. Or maybe it’s the other way around: fall fruit is consuming us, which isn’t a bad thing.

Fresh pomegranates! Our two trees are happy with fruit.

So many fresh persimmons

As soon as Summerended, our chicken wing and fall fruitseason came into full force. Every morning we’re wandering though the garden and collecting fallen asian pearsto add to our daily snacks. And then we’re staring at our pomegranates that the birds pecked through and realized how much slower we are at eating the fruit. Then when the weekend arrives, we’re following sports scoreswhile munching on wings and beer. It’s a great time of year we always look forward to.
