Hot Honey Chicken Wings with Cucumber Salad

recipe

• Step 1
  Preheat the oven to 425ºF. In a small mixing bowl, add melted butter, hot sauce & honey. Stir it all together.
• Step 2
  In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken wings & half of the hot-honey mixture. Season the wings with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper (optional) & chili powder if you have any. Toss everything together to evenly coat.
• Step 3
  On a foil or parchment paper lined sheet tray, add the chicken wings. Flip the wings so the skin side is up. Roast for 15-18 min.
• Step 4
  Meanwhile, using a box grater or knife, shave the cucumber into thin slices.
• Step 5
  Peel & thinly slice the red onion.
• Step 6
  Add the sliced cucumber to a bowl. Dress the cucumber salad with white wine vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper & fresh herbs if you have any. Add the sliced red onion & toss everything together. Set the salad aside until serving.
• Step 7
  Remove the chicken wings from the oven. Drizzle the remaining hot-honey sauce onto the wings & roast for another 8-10 min. If desired, broil for 1-2 min to crisp up the skin.
• Step 8
  Remove the wings from the oven, serve with the cucumber salad & additional hot-honey sauce if desired. Enjoy!
