Honey Barbeque Chicken Wings

I love chicken wings but I find the typical 'hot' wings here to be too spicy AND salty to my taste that I just could not eat them. In KL, my favourite place to get chicken wings would be at a bar called Monkey Bar inside Legend Hotel. My office used to be at PWTC and Legend Hotel is just across the road. It was also where my gym was. So I hung out there rather a lot ;)


This recipe is taught to me by my friend's in law. It is one of the easiest and yummiest BBQ Chicken Wings you can make. You dont have to do much to enjoy a finger-licking wings. Just the way I like them. I hope you would enjoy them as much as I do.

Honey BBQ Chicken Wings

1 dozen chicken wings
1 tablespoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup bbq sauce
3-4 tablespoon honey


1. Mix all the ingredients and add the wings. Transfer into a container or ziplock bag and marinate for at least 5 hours in the fridge.

2. When ready to cook, take it out from the fridge for about half hour to bring it to room temperature. (preferably)

3. You can either bbq on the grill or in the oven. If you are using the oven, preheat to 300F. Lay the wings on a broiling pan (single layer), cover with aluminium foil and cook 60-70min turning the wings and basting with the marinate half way through.

4. Take the foil off, turn the oven to broil at 350F for 10min each side while continue basting with the marinate.

** For a spicier taste, just add 1 tablespoon chili powder.
