There’s just something so delicious about chicken wings. Maybe it’s the small size and the fact that they are perfect finger food.

Maybe it’s all that tasty sauce that coats the wings. Or maybe it’s just that they taste so darned good!

Baked chicken wings make you feel a bit better about what you’re eating and you don’t have to feel guilty about eat a few more!

These Honey BBQ Chicken Wings are perfect when you’re watching football or having guests over for a celebration!

Key ingredients

• chicken wings – I buy a package of “party wings” from our local Costco. The wings are already separated into two pieces and the tip has been removed. Most grocery stores sell wings. You may have to separate them.
• Seasonings – Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Change things up by using a smoked paprika for a bit more smoky flavor.
• bbq sauce – Use your favorite BBQ sauce.
• Honey – Adds just a bit more sweetness
• Red Pepper Flakes – I like to add a bit more spice to my sauce so I add red pepper flakes. Feel free to omit or add double the amount! It’s all about how spicy you like your wings!

Step by step directions

• Pat wings dry with a paper towel and place wings in a large bowl
• Drizzle oil and seasonings over the top of wings. Toss to mix so every part of the wing is covered
• Place wings on a baking rack that’s resting on a baking sheet
• Bake for 40 minutes, rotating wings halfway through
• Meanwhile, place BBQ sauce, honey and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until the honey has melted

• Remove wings from oven and place into a large bowl
• For BBQ sauce over wings and toss to coat
• Place wings back on rack and return to oven under the broiler until the sauce is bubbly and just slightly charred
• Serve wings hot or warm with a sprinkle of fresh parsley

recipe tips

• Pat the wings dry with a paper towel. Excess moisture will prevent the wings from crisping
• Use parchment paper or foil on your baking sheet. This makes clean up much easier.
• Check your wings after the 40 minutes of baking. If the skin isn’t crispy, give the wings another 5 minutes in the oven.
• When broiling, keep a close eye on your wings. You don’t want them burnt, but you do want them just slightly charred. I use a gas oven and my broiler is just in the center of my oven. I have to rotate my tray to make certain all the wings get heated from the broiler.
• You can skip the broiler, if you prefer your BBQ sauce very wet and not slightly caramelized
