Honey Cinnamon Fireball Wings
Another genius chicken wing recipe thanks to my husband are these Honey Cinnamon Fireball Wings!
We make a great pair with his out of the box and unique chicken wing recipe ideas and my ability to make them happen 🙂
You can smoke these or make them in a Traeger pellet smoker, or just simply bake them in the oven.
For the seasoning I am using this Fireball seasoning, but you could substitute pretty much any favorite seasoning blend that you have.
Or you can buy the Fireball seasoning from Amazon HERE!
FYI it’s also incredible on pork chops.
How to make Honey Cinnamon Fireball Wings
Start with three pounds of jumbo split chicken wings.
Pat them dry and add some olive oil, Fireball seasoning, kosher salt, and pepper.
Then just toss the wings until they are evenly coated.
You can smoke them right on the grill grate of your smoker or Traeger pellet grill set to 250 degrees for 2 1/2 hours, flipping halfway through.
Or place them on a baking sheet in a 400 degree oven for about 45 minutes, also flipping halfway through.
I put mine on a wire baking rack to make them a little more crisp.
Either cooking method, you’ll want to make sure they have an internal temperature above 165 degrees.
I made a super simple Fireball Whiskey buffalo wing sauce.
Just put a cup of wing sauce into a saucepan along with 1/3 cup of Fireball, 2 tablespoons honey, and a teaspoon of cinnamon.
Bring to a boil just for a minute or two, stirring a few times.
Then toss the wings in the sauce before serving.
Honey Cinnamon Fireball Wings are a delicious and unique dinner or game day snack 🙂
I hope you all enjoy these wings as much as we did 🙂
