Wet Wet Wings


In this guide, you'll learn how to make the perfect Wet Wet Wings at home, along with pro tips and answers to frequently asked questions.

Why Are They Called "Wet Wet Wings"?

Unlike dry-rubbed wings, these wings are double-coated in sauce, making them extra juicy and full of flavor. Whether you prefer a honey-garlic glaze, classic buffalo, or a smoky BBQ twist, the key is ensuring they are completely drenched in sauce!

Ingredients

For the Wings:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings (split into flats and drumettes)

  • 1 tbsp baking powder (for crispy texture)

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

For the Sauce:

  • ½ cup hot sauce (Buffalo, sriracha, or your choice)

  • ¼ cup honey or brown sugar

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp butter (for richness)

  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (for thickening)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Wings

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) or set up an air fryer at 400°F (200°C).

  2. Pat the wings dry with paper towels—removing moisture ensures crispiness.

  3. In a bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  4. Arrange the wings in a single layer on a wire rack over a baking sheet.

Step 2: Cook the Wings

  • Oven Method: Bake for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway through.

  • Air Fryer Method: Cook for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine hot sauce, honey, soy sauce, butter, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic.

  2. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the cornstarch mixture to thicken. Remove from heat.

Step 4: Toss and Serve

  1. Place cooked wings in a large bowl.

  2. Pour the sauce over the wings and toss until fully coated.

  3. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dip!

Pro Tips for the Best Wet Wet Wings

✔ Use baking powder – It helps achieve crispy skin without frying.
✔ Don’t overcrowd the wings – Give them space to cook evenly.
✔ Double toss in sauce – Coat once, let them rest, and coat again for extra "wetness."

FAQs

1. Can I make Wet Wet Wings spicier?

2. How do I keep them crispy after adding sauce?

Bake or air fry for another 2-3 minutes after coating in sauce to lock in crispiness.

3. Can I use frozen wings?

Yes, but thaw them completely and pat them dry before cooking for the best texture.

4. What’s the best dipping sauce for Wet Wet Wings?

Ranch, blue cheese, or even a drizzle of extra honey for sweetness!
