One of our favorite meals this time of year is Honey Barbecue Wings.
Not only are they absolutely delicious, but they are also simple and easy to make! With just a few common ingredients you can have award-winning wings on the table in no time.
And who couldn’t use a few recipes that are quick and easy?
No need to thaw out those wings – you can throw them in the pot frozen and they come out perfect each and every time.
If you are looking for a delicious meal during a busy weekday night or if you are looking for a great recipe for game day, you must give this Honey Barbecue Wing recipe a try!
We’ve included instructions for both the Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker method and the traditional Crock Pot method.
We prefer to use the Instant Pot to make the wings, as you go from Frozen to Table in less than 45 minutes!
Although, the crock pot method results in great tasting wings as well, it just takes a little more planning.
