Baked to crispy perfection and coated in a homemade honey gold sauce, these wings offer a delightful symphony of flavors. They are crispy, sticky, sweet, tangy, and even a bit spicy. Trust us, these wings will disappear faster than you can say “hook’d up bar and grill” when you bring them to your next football game or barbecue.

Why This Recipe Works

  • Healthier than fried wings: By baking the wings instead of frying them, we significantly reduce the fat content. If you prefer, you can even cook them in an air fryer using the instructions below.

  • Cheaper than buying prepared wings: Purchasing 2 pounds of ready-made chicken wings from the local grocery store can cost upwards of $15. By making these wings at home, you’ll spend less than $5, and chances are, you already have most of the ingredients on hand!

  • Easily adaptable: This recipe can be halved or tripled effortlessly, allowing you to make as much or as little as you desire.

Ingredients

🥘 Honey: You’ll need some honey for this sauce. I recommend using local raw honey for a more intense flavor, but any store-bought pasteurized honey will work just fine.
