  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. Try to use a slotted baking pan (or wire rack of a baking sheet) – this ensures crispiness of the wings.

  • In a small pot, whisk together the hot sauce and honey over medium high heat.  Bring to simmer and then add your butter and cook until melted and slightly reduced – about 2 minutes.
