Memorial Day Recipe Drop Hot Honey Chicken Wings + Beer That Brings the Heat

Meet the wings that don’t mess around. Sticky, spicy, smoky, sweet — and unapologetically bold. These Hot Honey Chicken Wings made with I Am Hot Honey are perfect for the grill, the oven, or the guy who thinks he’s a pitmaster (we see you, Gary).

But here’s the twist:

The Beer Pairing.

Don’t just crack open any cold one. Go for something that elevates the fire.

Try this:

• Crisp & Hoppy: A citrus-forward IPA cuts through the sweetness and heat like a boss. Look for one with grapefruit or pine notes to amplify the honey glaze.
• Light & Bright: A chilled Pilsner cools the kick, refreshes your palate, and keeps the party going.
• Dark & Smoky: Feeling bold? Pair with a smoked porter or bourbon barrel ale — the deep caramel notes will dance with the honey like a Memorial Day parade.

Recipe: Hot Honey Chicken Wings

• 1 kg chicken wings
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt, pepper, smoked paprika
• 3 tbsp I Am Hot Honey
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• Optional: garlic powder or chili flakes for extra fire

Directions:

1. Toss wings in olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika. Bake or grill until golden and crispy.
2. In a saucepan, simmer hot honey, soy sauce, and vinegar until it bubbles and thickens.
