    If you love hot wings, you'll love these Chipotle Honey-Mustard Glazed Chicken Wings! They're smoky, they're sweet and they're a little spicy, too. A delicious game-day snack!

    While grocery shopping during a Hawaiian vacation, we picked up a bottle of El Diablo Chipotle Mustard, just because it sounded interesting. After one taste, we slathered it on pretty much everything except our morning smoothies. 

    Once back home, I discovered that Amazon doesn't ship this mustard to Canada, so I decided to recreate that chipotle-mustard hot and spicy yumminess myself.

    These Chipotle Honey-Mustard Glazed Chicken Wings were the result!

    Chipotle Honey-Mustard Glazed Chicken Wings in a bowl with dipping sauce

    ❤️ Why you'll love this spicy chicken wing recipe

    These smoky chicken wings are sweet and spicy with just the right amount of heat. They have a divine smoky flavour from chipotle peppers and smoked paprika.

    These hot wings are lick-your-fingers-delicious! They bake quickly in the oven.

    I've adapted this recipe to use with chicken thighs, too. If you're a fan of that smoky chipotle flavour, you'll probably like these Smoky Chipotle Honey-Mustard Glazed Chicken Thighs and my Easy Chipotle Peach Glazed Chicken, too.

    And if you're looking for more chicken wing ideas, here are recipes for 6 Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings.

    🛒Ingredients

    Chipotle-Honey Mustard Sauce

    • honey
    • canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
    • Dijon mustard
    • olive oil 
    • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Spice Rub for Chipotle Wings

    • olive oil
    • ground coriander
    • ground cumin
    • smoked paprika
    • sesame seeds toasted
    • green onions 

    🔪 How to make Chipotle Honey-Mustard Chicken Wings

    These Chipotle Honey-Mustard Glazed Chicken Wings are easy to make. 

    1. Create a rub with the spices
    2. Toss the wings with the spice rub, bake for 10 minutes, then baste with the sauce.
    3. Ten more minutes in the oven, then baste once more and finish cooking.
    4. Once they're beautifully glazed, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and garnish with freshly sliced green onions or chives.
    5. Save half the sauce for extra dipping. Serve warm . . . but they're equally as good cold.

    🍽 What to serve with chicken wings

    Hot wings need sides that contrast in flavour (and cool down your mouth!) Celery sticks are a common accompaniment but don't stop there. The sides for spicy chicken wings that I like best are:

    • Kiwi Cucumber Salad with Walnuts and Fresh Mint
    • Quick Chunky Guacamole with Tortilla Chips
    • Strawberry Spinach Salad with Strawberry Dressing
    • Italian Potato Salad with Pickled Shallots
    • Summer Veggie Pasta Salad with Feta Dressing

    🥶 Storing cooked chicken wings

    Store leftover wings in a covered container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.

    Freeze them in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
