Hot Honey Mustard Wings
Chicken wings are a staple in our house, like these hot honey mustard wings. Our house is divided between those who like the buffalo ranch chicken wings and those who like the sweet and spicy hot honey mustard wings. If you ask me, they’re both DEE-LICIOUS! These hot honey mustard chicken wings are another perfect appetizer to add to your menu for your next party, or maybe Super Bowl Sunday, or maybe just because you LOVE wings (like me)!
Are hot honey mustard wings gluten-free?
Yes! There is no breading involved, and the sauce recipe is also gluten-free.
Are baked chicken wings crispy?
Yes! Even though there’s no frying involved, the wings still come out with a nice crisp. If you want them even crispier, you could use your air fryer to baked the wings.
Hot Honey Mustard Wing Sauce Recipe
To prepare the hot honey mustard wing sauce combine the following into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat.
- 3/4 cup honey
- 3/4 cup dijon mustard
- 1/2 tbsp. sriracha sauce
- 1/2 tbsp. red pepper flakes
Alternative cooking methods
- Oven-Baked Chicken Wings – Place the wings onto a broiler rack, or place a cooling rack onto a baking sheet and place the wings onto the cooling rack. Place into the oven and bake for 40 minutes at 400 degrees F. When done, using kitchen tongs, individually dip each wing into the sauce and place back onto the cooling rack. Place the baking sheet back into the oven and turn the oven setting to broil. Broil for 3-5 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken on the wings.
- Air Fried Chicken Wings – Place wings into air fryer basket and cook for 20 minutes, turning every 10 minutes at 400 degrees. When done, using kitchen tongs, individually dip each wing into the sauce and place back into the air fryer basket and cook for 5-10 additional minutes.
- Oil Fried Chicken Wings – In a deep frying pan, heat 2 cups of cooking oil over medium-high heat. I recommend using avocado oil. Place the seasoned wings into the oil. Fry the wings for about 10 minutes on one side, then turn and fry for another 10 minutes. Remove from oil and let set, then dip into the sauce and serve.

Hot Honey Mustard Chicken Wings Recipe:
Hot Honey Mustard Wings
Delicious hot honey mustard wings with a sweet and spicy honey mustard wing sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 lbs. chicken wings/drummettes
- 3/4 cup honey
- 3/4 cup dijon mustard
- 1/2 tbsp. sriracha sauce
- 1/2 tbsp. red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place the wings/drummettes onto a broiler pan. If you don't have a broiler pan, line a baking sheet with foil and place a cooling rack on top of the pan. Place the wings onto the cooling rack.
- Season wings with salt and pepper and place into the oven for 40 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, combine the honey, dijon mustard, sriracha and red pepper flakes and heat on medium low, stirring occasionally.
- After 40 minutes, remove wings from oven and dip individually into the sauce, placing back onto the broiler pan.
- Once all wings are coated in the sauce, place back into the oven for an additional 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, turn the oven to broil and broil for 3-5 minutes, watching closely. You'll want the sauce to char a little but not burn. This methods cooks the sauce into the wings.
- Remove from oven, let cool slightly and serve.
