    Have you ever noticed a shortage of chicken every year when it’s time for the Super Bowl? Well, so did we. People love a bowl of hot, crispy chicken wings. And when it comes to that, honestly, what’s better than the classic Hennessy wings recipe?

    But what makes this one different? Well, you could say that the answer is the sauce, but it is the unique combination of Hennessy, moisture, and a savory flavor that makes the sauce a difference maker. The crispy chicken wings help too. If you’re wondering how to make Hennessy wings, this just might be the right spot.

    1. Set your oven to 400 degrees.
    1. In a mixing bowl, combine all the chicken ingredients except for the wings.
    1. Mix to combine.
    1. Season your chicken wings with the spice mixture.
    1. Transfer the chicken wings onto a baking sheet.
    1. Cook for half an hour.
    1. Flip the wings and cook for another half an hour.

    1. Serve the wings in a bowl and toss the sauce to coat.

    Substitutions

    • Apple cider vinegar β€” Vinegar provides a complex flavor along with some acidity that elevates your sauce to another level. Still, our Hennessy wings sauce recipe could also be made with lemon juice, lime juice, or citrus juice. Keep in mind that you will be losing out on the rich flavor that comes with vinegar.
    • Garlic powder/onion powder β€” This recipe for Hennessy wings ends up just fine if you use garlic powder and onion powder. However, you could use granulated onion or garlic as well. The consistency won’t be the same since the former is much finer. 
    • Soy sauce β€” Some variations of the BBQ Hennessy wings recipe don’t call for soy sauce at all, but we would not recommend omitting it. If you’d rather not use soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce or fish sauce could be used.

    Variations

    • Sweeter β€” If a minimalist approach to the BBQ sauce won’t cut it for you, you might want to check this one out. If you want a sweeter taste, use granulated sugar instead of brown sugar. You can also add some honey to the mix if you feel like you need more.
    • Cheesy β€” They say toppings are everything, right? Well, although the original Hennessy wings recipe doesn’t include any of those, you can still add some. Try adding shredded cheddar cheese.
    • Creamy β€” If you would prefer your Hennessy sauce with some more flair, feel free to add some mayonnaise into the mix. Sour cream will do as well. Just try not to make too much of a mess!

    Equipment

    • Measuring cups and spoons
    • Mixing bowl
    • Saucepan
    • Baking sheet
    • Oven
    • Serving bowl

    Storage

    • Transfer any leftovers into an airtight container as quickly as possible. Stored in your fridge, the leftovers will last for three days.
    • To freeze the leftover chicken wings, transfer them into a ziplock. Stored in your freezer, they will last for up to three months.

    Pro Tips

    • Marinade β€” After seasoning your chicken wings with the Hennessy sauce mix, we recommend marinating them for a half hour before placing them in the oven.
    • Use a rack β€” If you’d like to have your Hennessy wings crispier and you’re actually up to doing some extra work for it, you should absolutely consider cooking the chicken wings on a rack. This makes a whole lot of difference when it comes to crispiness.
