TIPS & THINGS TO NOTE:
Choice of hot pepper:
You can use any hot pepper you have at home and like. I am using habaneros in this recipe but other peppers like scotch bonnets, scorpion, Thai chilis (etc) all work great as well. Don’t be afraid to experiment with flavours and seasonings you enjoy to make the dish your own.
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 2 tbsp paprika
- 2 tbsp chicken broth powder
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 2.5 tbsp butter
- 3/4 tbsp finely chopped habanero ((see notes))
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Season your chicken wings with paprika, chicken broth powder, and olive oil.
Marinate for a few hours or overnight.
Air Fry, Bake or deep fry until brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken wings should read a minimum of 165 degrees F on a quick read thermometer. Another way to tell if your chicken wings are cooked through is it cut one open and look for clear juices – there should be no pink juices or blood present.
Add the garlic and butter to a microwave safe dish and microwave for 45 seconds. The garlic and butter should be bubbling if not give it another 30 seconds.
Once the butter and garlic is done cooking add in your chopped habanero and parsley and mix.
Pour the sauce all over the cooked chicken wings and toss.
Sprinkle on the parmesan cheese and toss again. Enjoy!
- Cooking honey: After adding the honey to the sauce your want it to simmer until foamy. This helps the sauce coat the wings and gives it a nice lacquer like finish. If you are sceptical about heating the honey you can squeeze it on at the end once things cool.
