1. Grilled Big Bear Hot Honey Chicken Skewers

Serves: 4    Prep Time: 15 minutes    Cook Time: 12 to 15 minutes

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 bell peppers, cut into chunks
• 1 red onion, cut into chunks
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup Big Bear Hot Honey
• Wooden or metal skewers

Directions

1. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes.
2. Toss the chicken, peppers, and onion with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Thread the chicken and vegetables onto skewers.
4. Grill over medium-high heat for 12 to 15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until the chicken reaches 165 degrees F internally.
5. Brush the skewers with Big Bear Hot Honey during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Serve warm.

Easy tip: Add pineapple chunks between the chicken and peppers for a sweet, smoky twist.

2. Crispy Baked Big Bear Hot Honey Wings

Serves: 4 to 6    Prep Time: 10 minutes    Cook Time: 40 to 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings, patted dry
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/3 cup Big Bear Hot Honey
• 2 tablespoons melted butter

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top if you have one.

3. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is crisp and the wings are cooked through.
4. Stir together the Big Bear Hot Honey and melted butter. Toss the warm wings in the sauce and serve right away.

Easy tip: Put ranch, blue cheese, celery, and carrots on the table. It keeps the spread simple and gives everyone an option when the heat kicks in.
