🔥 Grilled Cajun Hot Honey Chicken Wings
Crispy-charred wings tossed in a bold, sweet-heat glaze
Serves: 4
Prep time: 10 min · Cook time: 20–25 min
🍗 Ingredients:
2 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Optional: 1 tsp Cajun seasoning (for bolder flavor)
For the Cajun Hot Honey Glaze:
⅓ cup Bee Great Cajun Hot Honey
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 tbsp hot sauce (optional, for extra heat)
Juice of ½ lime
🔥 Instructions:
1. Preheat the grill:
Heat your grill to medium-high (around 400–425°F). Clean and oil the grates well.
2. Season the wings:
Pat the wings very dry with paper towels. Toss with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and optional Cajun seasoning.
3. Grill the wings:
Place wings on the grill in a single layer over direct heat. Grill for 18–25 minutes total, turning every 4–5 minutes, until deeply charred and cooked through (internal temp 175–180°F for tenderness). Move to indirect heat if they char too quickly.
4. Make the sauce:
While wings are grilling, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in Bee Great Cajun Hot Honey, hot sauce (if using), and lime juice. Simmer for 1–2 minutes to slightly thicken.
5. Toss & serve:
Transfer grilled wings to a large bowl. Pour warm Cajun hot honey glaze over them and toss to coat. Sprinkle with extra Cajun seasoning if desired.
🧄 Serve with:
Celery sticks, ranch or blue cheese dressing, and cold drinks!
🔥 Pro Tip: For smokier flavor, add a handful of soaked wood chips to the grill (apple or hickory work great) before cooking.
