These sweet & spicy wings are sure to be a hit on game day (or any day)!

Honey Chipotle Wings: A sweet and spicy appetizer perfect for game day!Over the last few years I have developed a taste for spicy wings. Not insanity sauce spicy but going from not even being able to eat mild salsa to enjoying spicy wings is definitely a step up in the heat division for me! My favorite by far are my Boneless Buffalo Wings but last week I decided to switch it up a bit and make my boneless wings but with honey chipotle sauce.

When my husband and I first started dating I was working a few days a week at Chili’s. We used to go in for dinner on a regular basis; so regular that they would see us pull up and have our drinks and chips and queso on the table ready for us by the time we got in! We both almost always got the same thing for dinner too; he got a bacon burger and I got honey chipotle chicken tenders. Not only was the food and service great but we got 50% off so it was (somewhat) affordable too.

Honey Chipotle Wings: A sweet and spicy appetizer perfect for game day!Flash forward seven years. The food and service are still great but going out to dinner with toddlers is not enjoyable and my boys can eat as much as me so it’s not affordable anymore either. One of the first recipes I shared on Tastefully Frugal was my Copy Cat Chili’s Honey Chipotle Chicken; if I couldn’t go get my favorite dinner on a regular basis I should be able to make it at home, right?! It is still one of our favorite dinners and since we are spending many a weekend watching football I decided to try the honey chipotle sauce on my wings. It was a huge success! My boys liked them more than the buffalo wings and I don’t blame them. They sweetness from the honey definitely takes away some of the heat from the chipotle sauce. If you like things a little spicier add an additonal teaspoon of chipotle adobe sauce (or add a few chipotle peppers into the sauce as it’s simmering).Honey Chipotle Wings: A sweet and spicy appetizer perfect for game day!

Honey Chipotle Wings: A sweet and spicy appetizer perfect for game day!I love serving wings at parties because there are so many options. If you have friends or little ones that don’t like spicy food skip the last step of drenching wings in sauce and serve them plain with their favorite dipping sauce on the side. What is your favorite food to make on game day?
