FAQS

  1. Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?

    Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings, but make sure to thaw them completely before marinating and coating them.

  2. What can I substitute for buttermilk?

    You can substitute buttermilk with a mixture of milk and vinegar or lemon juice. For each cup of buttermilk, use 1 cup of milk and add 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice, then let it sit for 5-10 minutes.

  3. How can I make these wings spicier?

    To make the wings spicier, you can add more buffalo sauce or include additional hot sauce to the honey buffalo sauce mixture before tossing the wings.

  4. Can I bake the wings at a lower temperature?

    While 425°F is recommended for crispy wings, you can bake them at a lower temperature, but they may take longer to cook and may not be as crispy.

  5. How do I store leftover honey butter wings?

    Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in the oven at 350°F until heated through for the best texture.
