Honey BBQ Chicken Wings with Pineapple Balsamic & Chipotle Glaze

July 6, 2026

There’s just something about a platter of sticky, caramelized chicken wings that brings everyone running to the table. Whether you're hosting a backyard barbecue, game day gathering, or an easy family dinner, these Honey BBQ Chicken Wings deliver the perfect balance of sweet, smoky, and tangy flavors in every bite.

The secret is our irresistible glaze made with Franklin Raw Honey, Pineapple White Balsamic, and Chipotle Premium Olive Oil. The honey creates that rich, glossy finish, while the Pineapple White Balsamic adds bright tropical sweetness that keeps the sauce from feeling too heavy. Our Chipotle Olive Oil rounds everything out with a subtle smoky heat that lingers just enough to keep you reaching for another wing.

A touch of tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika gives the glaze the deep mahogany color and classic BBQ flavor you love, while still allowing our premium ingredients to shine. As the wings bake, the sauce caramelizes into a beautiful sticky coating that's finger-licking good.

Serve these wings with crisp celery, carrots, and your favorite dipping sauce for a crowd-pleasing appetizer, or pair them with grilled corn, pasta salad, or fresh watermelon for an unforgettable summer meal. However you serve them, they're guaranteed to disappear fast!

If you're looking for a new way to enjoy our Pineapple White Balsamic and Chipotle Premium Olive Oil together, this recipe is one you'll be making all season long.

Ingredients

3 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
2 tbsp Chipotle Premium Olive Oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ cup Franklin Raw Honey
3 tbsp Pineapple White Balsamic
2 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
½ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp garlic powder
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
1 tbsp water, if needed to thin the glaze
Celery sticks
Carrot sticks
Ranch or blue cheese dressing

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
Toss the wings with Chipotle Premium Olive Oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange in a single layer and bake for 40–45 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
While the wings cook, whisk together the Franklin Raw Honey, Pineapple White Balsamic, tomato paste, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne (if using).
Simmer the glaze over medium-low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick, glossy, and rich in color.
Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl and toss with the warm glaze until evenly coated.
Return the glazed wings to the oven for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to caramelize.
Serve immediately with celery, carrots, and your favorite dipping sauce.
