These Sweet & Smoky BBQ Chicken Wings are a perfect blend of honey, maple sugar, and smoked paprika, delivering a deliciously sticky and flavorful experience. Ideal for game day or any gathering, these wings are sure to be the first thing gone at the table!

Ingredients

  • 2 lb Chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes

  • 1 Tbsp Olive oil

  • 2 Tbsp Calicutts Sweet & Smoky BBQ blend

  • 1 tsp Baking powder, (optional — for extra-crisp skin)

  • 1 Tbsp Hot Honey blend

  • 2 Scallions, thinly sliced

  • 1 tsp Toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

  1. Heat a grill to medium-high (about 400°F). For the oven, heat to 425°F and set a wire rack over a foil-lined sheet pan.

  2. Pat the wings very dry. In a bowl, toss them with the olive oil, Sweet & Smoky BBQ blend, and baking powder (if using) until evenly coated.

  3. Grill 25–30 minutes, turning every 5–7 minutes, until deeply caramelized and cooked through (165°F internal). Oven: roast 40–45 minutes, flipping once, until crisp.

  4. Pile the hot wings into a serving bowl.

  5. Sprinkle Hot Honey over the wings, toss once, and scatter the scallions and sesame seeds on top. Serve immediately. We love to couple this with a side of sour cream and our Ranch blend whipped together.
