Oven-baked BBQ Chicken Wings Recipe
These wings are the perfect choice if you’re looking for a milder taste than buffalo wings. They’re sticky, succulent, and the perfect dish for game night. The recipe is incredibly easy to follow.
First, create a spice mixture using chili powder, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Coat the chicken wings in the mixture, then bake them in the oven until they’re crispy.
Next, toss the wings in your homemade honey barbecue sauce and bake them for a few more minutes. If you don’t have honey barbecue sauce, you can add a little honey or maple syrup to your regular barbecue sauce for a sweet and savory flavor.
This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights or a fun weekend get-together. Serve these wings with a side of celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for the ultimate game-day feast.
