When Copa and I met in college, we ate a lot of chicken wings. There was a tiny hole-in-the-wall hot wing restaurant very close to Mercer's campus called Bay Street Wings. Catering to college students, they kept the prices really low. 🙂

When I moved out of my sorority house and into my first apartment, making chicken wings from scratch was one of my first forays into cooking. After MANY trial and errors, a version of this Sweet & Spicy Chicken Wing recipe was born. We went back to Macon, GA years later, and were saddened to learn that our favorite hot wing restaurant had closed its doors. However, this wing recipe is mighty close to their signature wings, so all is well!

How To Make Sweet & Spicy Chicken Wings

Making Sweet & Spicy Chicken Wings is a snap. First, melt your butter and add the garlic. Stir in the wing sauce and add the honey.

Let everything simmer for about 5 minutes on medium heat. Then, simply toss pre-cooked chicken wings into the sauce! Super easy, right?

Have you heard the saying "the secret is in the sauce"? Truer words cannot be found! This wing sauce is VERY versatile. If you want to make Buffalo Chicken Sandwich Wraps, just bake frozen chicken tenders as directed and toss them in the Sweet & Spicy Chicken Wing Sauce. Lay out a flour tortilla, and layer lettuce, ranch dressing, and sauced up chicken tenders. Roll it all up the tortilla and voila! You have a delicious wrap.

I hope you and your family enjoy these chicken wings as much as we do!
