These wings are baked to perfection in a simple honey-mustard sauce. But that’s not all. Wings need a good sauce to top them off. So this sauce is made with spicy horseradish Dijon mustard and lemon that may just make you pucker, but you won’t be able to stop eating it.
The spiciness of the sauce will have you coming back for more.
I especially like the heat of the horseradish and Sriracha sauce, along with the quick hit of the lemon juice with each bite dipped in this sauce.
Personal dunking bowls may be required for double-dipping purposes.
And lots of napkins will definitely be required.
Or just lick your fingers, because this is bar food, after all.
