My wife and I recently visited The Island, located in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. One of the stores we happily stopped by was the Savannah Bee Company. As soon as we walked in the door the lovely aroma of honey hit us. The store was full of great things, from honey tastings to skin care products…. lots of things bee-related! My wife made a bee-line (you’re welcome for that one!) to the stuffed toys. Odd? I know! Me? Honey hot sauce. Not odd! I had wings on the brain as usual. So I grabbed a bottle and started dreaming of making honey hot sauce wings as soon as I got home. And when I did, I was rewarded with delightfully sweet wings with a wonderful kick from scotch bonnet peppers. There’s the perfect balance here. These are fantastic wings!
Butter. Or Not.
I like to mix a little melted butter in with whichever hot sauce I’m using to make wings. Like these Honey hot sauce wings. My two ingredient wing sauce has served me well over the years. But, your tastes might be a little different. Heck, some people just go straight up with the hot sauce on their wings. You might want more butter. I dunno. So here’s what I suggest: start by just heating the hot sauce a bit. You don’t want to put cold sauce on a wing anyways. Taste it. Now, if you want, add a tablespoon of unsalted butter and stir. Taste. Good? Stop. Want more butter? Keep going. You’ll find that perfect balance that works for you. Just remember for the next time you make these great wings!

Honey Hot Sauce Wings
Ingredients
- 3-4 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock
For the sauce (see recipe)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons Savannah Bee Company Honey Hot Sauce
Instructions
- Note: The first time you make the sauce for the wings, I suggest you start with less butter (perhaps half). You might want the sauce to be spicier. You can always add more butter if you want to tame it down a bit.
- To make the sauce, combine the butter and hot sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until melted. Keep warm until ready to use.
