Ingredients:
For the Cherry Krush Hot Sauce Glaze:
- - 1/2 cup Cherry Krush hot sauce
- - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- - 2 tablespoons honey
- - 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- - 1/2 teaspoon ground coffee (optional, for added depth)
- - Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Chicken Wings:
- - 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
- - 2 tablespoons olive oil
- - Salt and black pepper, to taste
- - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- - 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- - Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)
- - Lime wedges for serving (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet if you have one; this helps the chicken wings cook evenly and become crispy.
Prepare the Chicken Wings:
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until they are well coated.
Bake the Chicken Wings:
Arrange the seasoned chicken wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. If you're using a wire rack, place the rack on the baking sheet and arrange the wings on top.
Bake the chicken wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Prepare the Cherry Krush Hot Sauce Glaze:
While the chicken wings are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Add the Cherry Krush hot sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, ground coffee (if using), and a pinch of salt and black pepper to the melted butter.
Simmer the glaze for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly and all the flavors meld together.
Toss the Chicken Wings:
Once the chicken wings are done baking and crispy, remove them from the oven.
Place the baked wings in a large bowl and pour the Cherry Krush hot sauce glaze over them.
Gently toss the wings until they are evenly coated with the glaze.
Serve:
Transfer the glazed chicken wings to a serving platter.
Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired.
Serve the Cherry Krush Hot Sauce Chicken Wings with lime wedges for an extra zesty kick and some celery sticks or carrot sticks for a refreshing crunch.
