Sticky Asian Chicken Wings
Because the wings get a good bit of char, the type of honey you use isn’t as important here (it’ll lose its subtler nuances). Though we remove the skin from the wings, you’d never know it–they pick up an irresistible crispy crunch as the glaze cooks under the broiler. Give yourself a better grip when skinning each wing by holding it with a paper towel in one hand and pulling the skin with another paper towel in the other hand.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat broiler with rack 6 inches from heat.
Step 2
Coat a large foil-lined baking sheet with cooking spray. Combine chicken and 1 tablespoon oil on prepared pan; toss to coat. Broil 13 minutes; turn chicken over, and broil 3 minutes.
Step 3
Meanwhile, combine honey, stock, soy sauce, vinegar, sambal, ginger, garlic, and remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil; cook 13 minutes or until syrupy and reduced to about 2/3 cup, stirring frequently. Brush chicken with 3 tablespoons honey mixture, and return to broiler; broil 2 minutes or until lightly charred. Place chicken in a large bowl; drizzle with remaining honey mixture, and toss to coat. Sprinkle chicken evenly with cilantro and peanuts.
Grilled Nectarine and Blue Cheese Bruschetta
If you have raw, unheated honey, reach for it first here. Wildflower, which means the bees foraged on everything they could, is also a good choice. The nectarines will caramelize and add a charred flavor to the rich cheese and sweet honey. In one small bite, you will hit a variety of flavor profiles from salty, smoky, sweet and creamy. You can sub nectarines with peaches or during the winter, roast pears or apples in the oven and follow the same preparation.
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Combine 1 teaspoon water and 1 teaspoon honey in a small bowl. Rub mixture over cut sides of nectarines.
Step 3
Arrange nectarines on grill grates coated with cooking spray; grill, uncovered, 2 minutes on each side. Remove from grill; cut each piece into 4 wedges.
Step 4
Coat bread with cooking spray. Arrange on grill grates; grill 1 minute on 1 side or until lightly browned. Remove from grill. Reduce grill heat to medium.
Step 5
Divide nectarines evenly over toasted sides of bread. Top evenly with cheese. Arrange on grill grates; grill, covered, 1 1/2 minutes or until cheese softens and bread is toasted on bottom. Arrange toasts on a platter; drizzle with remaining 5 teaspoons honey. Drizzle with balsamic glaze. Garnish with microgreens or sprouts, if desired. Serve immediately.
Chile-Infused Honey
Honey will never expire: The acid content is so high that bacteria can’t survive and multiply. The high acidity comes from the super-concentrated sugar solution, with only 1/5 of the original water content. But if you leave your honey unsealed, it will absorb water from the air and create a less acidic environment where bacteria can thrive. Bottom line: If you want to keep any honey good forever, keep a lid on it. You’ll love the intense flavor of this infused honey. Use it in salad dressings or marinades; drizzle over cheese, toast, or ice cream; or package in a cute jar, give as a gift, and make someone very happy.
How to Make It
Step 1
Place all the chipotle chiles and 5 of the chiles de árbol in a mini food processor. Pulse until chiles are coarsely chopped. Combine chile mixture, honey, and salt in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; cook 15 minutes, keeping temperature under 180°F. Remove pan from heat; cool 1 hour.
Step 2
Place remaining chile de árbol in a 2-cup glass jar with a sealable lid. Strain honey mixture through a fine sieve into jar, discarding solids. Seal jar, and store honey at room temperature.

Lemon-Honey Chicken Thighs
These sticky, saucy chicken thighs are perfectly paired with any grilled zucchini sides (shown here with chopped tomato-basil salsa). You can also use chicken breasts; just cook them a little longer, about 6 minutes per side.

Step 2
Add shallots to pan; reduce heat to medium, and cook 2 minutes or until beginning to brown and soften, stirring frequently. Add 2 tablespoons water, juice, and honey to pan; bring to a boil. Cook 1 minute, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Return chicken to pan, turning to coat. Sprinkle evenly with fresh oregano, and serve immediately.

Warmed Berries with Honey and Fresh Cheese
You may adapt this dessert to your taste by adjusting the blend of berries, the amount of honey, or even the amount of cheese. The idea is luxury in the amount of berries. Fromage blanc is wonderfully subtle; you can sub Greek yogurt, which is tangier.
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine half of berries and honey in a small saucepan over low heat; cook 8 minutes or until slightly warmed, gently stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in basil leaves.
Step 2
Scrape seeds from vanilla bean. Combine seeds and cheese in a small bowl, stirring well.
Step 3
Spoon about 1/4 cup cheese mixture into each of 6 glasses or small bowls. Top each serving with about 1/4 cup warm berry mixture. Top each serving with 1/4 cup remaining fresh berries and a basil sprig. Serve immediately.
