Chicken Wing Cupcakes

A fun way to serve wings for a tailgate or a house party!

This recipe was originally viewed on TikTok from There's Food At Home. We modified it so it would not be spicy.

INGREDIENTS

Mashed Potatoes:

4 medium sized Yukon gold potatoes
1/3 cup milk
5 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp sour cream
salt to taste
pepper to taste

“Cupcakes”

1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix (will need milk & eggs, instructions on package)
2 Tbsp melted butter
1 Tbsp honey

Chicken Wings:

6-8 chicken wings
1 tsp garlic powder
salt
pepper
oil for frying (canola or vegetable oil)
1/2 cup - 3/4 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce, we used Sweet Baby Ray's.

DIRECTIONS

In a large pot bring about 4 quarts of water to a boil. It should be enough water to cover the potatoes.
Peel the skin off the potatoes and cut them in cubes so they will cook faster. Add the potatoes to the boiling water and cook on medium high for about 30 minutes, or until they are soft in the center. To check for doneness, stick a knife or toothpick in the center and if it easily goes through the potatoes should be done.
Drain the potatoes and keep on low heat in the pan. Mash the potatoes a bit with a masher or fork. Add in milk, butter, sour cream, salt and pepper. Stir and begin to mash. Use a hand mixer to blend to make extra smooth. Set aside.
While the potatoes are cooking, make the muffins, the directions are on the box. Preheat the oven to the temperature on the Jiffy mix box. In the mix add the melted butter and honey. Add the mix to cupcake liners in a muffin tin. There should be enough mix to make 6-8 cupcakes. Bake in the oven.
Heat oil on high heat for frying. While the oil is heating up, season chicken wings with garlic powder and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the chicken wings to the hot oil and cook on medium high heat for about 10-12 minutes, once they are golden brown and extra crispy. Drain on paper towel.
In a small bowl put half the bbq sauce and add half the wings, toss to coat. Then add the rest of the bbq and wings to coat the rest.
Assemble the cupcakes. Pipe the mashed potatoes on top of the corn muffins and add one chicken wing to each. Serve and enjoy!
