Kinder’s Honey BBQ Sauce Wings

Ahhhhh. Perfect. This is what a barbecue sauce is meant for. Wings. Oh yeah, I know, you put it on pulled pork, grilled chicken legs, ribs and even burgers. But on wings…. yum! Kinder’s honey BBQ sauce wings hit the spot and then some for me. The sauce is a nice traditional tomato-based sauce. It has a hint of smokiness, but just a hint. It has a nice sweetness, but not too much. It’s not candy, just a great BBQ sauce that loves to be tossed onto some hot-out-of-the-cooker wings.

Perfect Sweet BBQ Flavor

You can serve Kinder’s Honey BBQ sauce wings at a party and not worry about anyone complaining about the heat. If you’re seeking out a bit of spiciness, though, Kinder’s makes a spicy version of this BBQ sauce too. So, cover all of your bases and serve them both! Now you know that everyone will be happy!

This sauce is also great for dipping nuggets.

What Are You Waiting For?

Go make some wings! It’s not that hard to do! My go-to method is to air-fry them. A little seasoning first. Air-fried to perfection. Fantastic aroma as they cook. Crispy skin. Juicy meat. Tender. Ready for a sauce. Air-fried wings can hold up to being tossed with sauce, so that’s what I do. If they were deep-fried with a batter I wouldn’t abuse them like that. I’d gently brush the sauce on. Or serve it on the side, for dipping.

See my guides for cooking your wings, and saucing them! I’ve got you covered!

My Trusty Wingman

My air fryer isn’t fancy. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles. Well, ok, it does have a bell when the timer goes off but that’s it. I don’t even use the timer actually. I use a timer on my phone that has two countdowns: one for 12 minutes and one for 6 minutes. That’s all I ever need to get perfect wings each and every time!

The Best Homemade Buffalo Wings

I love making my own Buffalo wings at home. It’s become one of my favorite weekend rituals, and honestly, once you start making them yourself, it’s hard to go back to takeout or frozen wings.

Jump to the List

What I love most is making the sauce from scratch. That one step changes everything. When you make the sauce yourself, you have complete control. You can adjust the flavors to exactly match your tastes, your mood, or whoever you’re cooking for. Store-bought sauces are fine in a pinch, but they always taste the same. Homemade lets you play.

Sometimes I prefer them seriously spicy — the kind of heat that makes you reach for an extra glass of water but you can’t stop eating anyway. I’ll add extra cayenne, a few dashes of habanero sauce, or let the peppers steep longer to build that slow, fiery burn. Other days, I go for something a little more mellow and balanced. A little more butter for richness, a touch of honey or brown sugar to round out the edges, maybe some smoked paprika or garlic for depth instead of pure heat. It’s the same basic wing, but it can feel like a completely different dish.

Making them at home also means I can get the wings exactly how I like them. Extra crispy skin, perfectly cooked inside, tossed while they’re still steaming hot so the sauce clings to every inch. Pair them with celery sticks, blue cheese or ranch, and you have the perfect spread for game day, a party, or just a cozy night in.

Below are my favorite recipes that I’ve perfected over the years — from my classic, tangy, medium-heat Buffalo sauce that everyone loves, to my extra-hot version for spice lovers, and my mellow, buttery garlic Buffalo for when you want all the flavor without too much fire. Give them a try and I’m sure they’ll be your favorites too!

Baked Wings with Garlic Butter Sauce

It was time for something different. Time for a departure from my ‘usual’ wings, usually air-fried or deep-fried. Time for a departure from my ‘usual’ wing sauces, usually spicy but occasionally sweet. Yep, time for some baked wings with garlic butter sauce. These definitely are not my usual wings. The skin gets nice and crispy in the oven. Next, time for a toss in a very garlicky, very yummy sauce that is loaded with buttery tasty goodness. These are finger-lickingly good wings for sure!

More Garlic, More Better

You know, there’s absolutely no one that’s going to judge you if you decide you want even more garlic flavor when you make your baked wings with garlic butter sauce. I definitely guarantee that as the recipe is written you’re going to be getting a lot of garlic flavor. But I know there are people out there that want even more, so load up! Now’s the time to bring it!

Want your wings a little darker in color? Just put them under the broiler for a few minutes after they are fully cooked. Just keep an eye on them while you broil them. Never leave anything unattended under such high heat.
