Game Day Party Recipe
This easy chicken wings appetizer is perfect for serving at game day parties. Add this recipe to your game day snack ideas and they’ll be a hit!
There are always Buffalo chicken wings at a game day party, but if you bring this one you can be assured it won’t be a duplicate. In fact this slightly sweetened version would be a nice complement to other spicy varieties.
When I made these, I was pleasantly surprised that they weren’t cloyingly sweet. The honey sauce is delicate and perfect alongside a beer or glass of lemonade. The recipe calls for grilling the wings but we’ve had so much rain lately that we had to cook them in the oven. They came out beautifully tender and delicious.
