There’s both sweet and heat in these honey Old Bay wings. The famous Chesapeake seasoning brings its own subtle paprika-based spice, but sprinkle a little cayenne with the honey and you have a nice little bite, too. They’re perfect for game day or the family party.
If you’re an Old Bay fan, honey Old Bay wings are a definite keeper. We sure are, but for those who are on the fence, Old Bay is a lot of flavor to handle. They’re only mildly spicy, but they are very spiced. It’s a cacophony of flavor in the seasoning. If you’ve had Chesapeake chips of any kind, you’ve experienced the flavor of Old Bay. Keep it in mind before making. You can also remove the cayenne pepper if there’s concern over too much heat. Or add more if you’re wanting a bit more bite to the recipe. The choice is yours.
