The easiest recipe for baked bbq chicken wings. Seasoned chicken wings baked in the oven until crispy and tender then smothered in an easy honey barbecue sauce.

We love our wings smothered in a sticky sauce. If we aren’t having these barbecue wings, you need to try the crispy asian sauce!

When you think of game day appetizers, wings are one of the first things that comes to mind. Though we love mild buffalo wings, barbecue is such a classic sauce. The sweet and tangy sauce gives the wings so much flavor. The barbecue sauce the wings are smothered in only uses two ingredients, making this recipe so simple!

Ingredients:

  • Chicken wings – our baked chicken wings recipe makes the perfect crispy wingettes.
  • Homemade honey bbq sauce  – a combination of barbecue sauce and honey.

How to Cook BBQ Wings

  1. Prepare the wings using our oven-baked wing recipe.
  2. In a large bowl, combine barbecue sauce and honey. Toss the baked wings in the sauce. 
  3. Return the wings to the oven for 5 minutes so that the sauce can penetrate the wings.

Pro Tips for the Best Wings:

  • Bake the wings in a single layer to get crispy wings! Overcrowding will cause the wings to steam rather than roast.
  • Baking powder is the secret tool to make the skin extra crispy! 
  • How to get crispy chicken? Before baking the wings, use a paper towel to tap off the excess moisture.

Serving Suggestions:

When serving the wings for a party, we enjoy serving them charcuterie board style on a large-rimmed baking sheet. Just arrange all the sides and add the chicken once baked. Here are some great side options for wings:
