Speculoos Wings with Brown Butter Sauce

Speculoos Wings with Brown Butter Sauce

Move over buffalo—there’s a new wing in town!

These golden, crispy chicken wings get a sweet-spiced upgrade with Caroline Schiff’s Speculoos Blend, then take a buttery plunge into nutty brown butter spiked with soy, garlic, and a hint of sugar. Finish with a shower of parmesan and basil, and you’ve got a holiday-party showstopper that’s sticky, savoury, and just a little sweet.

Pro tip: Don’t skip the brown butter step—it’s what makes these wings irresistible.

    Preparation

    1. Preheat oven or air fryer to 400*F
    2. Add the wings to a sheet tray, use a paper towel to dab any liquid off the wings
    3. Drizzle the avocado oil over the wings and season with salt, pepper and Speculoos Blend. Toss to evenly coat. 
    4. Bake or air fry for 15-20 mins, flipping halfway through until deep golden brown or until the internal temperature of the chicken wings reaches 165°F.
    5. While the wings are cooking, make the brown butter sauce: Add the stick of butter to a small saucepot over medium heat, when the butter comes to a low simmer, stir continuously until you notice the butter starting to turn a golden brown color and smells nutty. Remove from the heat and add the soy sauce, Speculoos blend, brown sugar and garlic, whisk together to fully combine. 
    6. Remove the wings from the oven and place in a heat safe bowl. Pour the brown butter sauce over them and toss to coat.
    7. Garnish with freshly grated parmesan and basil. Serve immediately and enjoy!
