I feel that bbq chicken wings are a staple recipe in most households. At some point you are going to have to cook bbq chicken wings, whether it is for a party, football game, or a potluck. Thankfully, it turns out, they aren’t really that hard to cook, and they are a win with most kids. My go-to recipe is a Baked Honey BBQ Chicken Wings recipe. This bbq chicken wing recipe is a combination dry rub of garlic, chili, salt, brown sugar, pepper, and onion powder and a honey bbq sauce.
Why baked? Thank you for asking, it is because it is easier that way.
Would the grill taste better? Probably.
Would frying have crispier skin? Probably.
Would that be a whole lot of hassle that would end up with me ordering takeout wings. Um…YES.
I have an affinity for BBQ chicken wings, because just like fried rice, spaghetti, and Japanese curry, they are all cooking recipes that I started off with. The good thing about making chicken wings in the oven is consistency. And if you are a beginning cook, you are going to appreciate consistency. Once you get a feel for the timing of your oven, the guesswork is not necessary.
Tips for cooking Baked Honey BBQ Chicken Wings
- Buy Wingettes not Wings – They are smaller, don’t have the extra piece on the end that is hard to eat, and they are easier to eat.
- Sweet Baby Rays – I’m all about the sweet baby rays bbq sauce, so I’m biased here. If you haven’t tried their sauce I recommend the Honey BBQ (obviously) or the Original flavor.
- Foil and oil – Put foil on your pan, and a little bit of oil on the foil. Then you won’t be trying to get bbq sauce out of your pan.
What to eat with BBQ Chicken Wings
- Celery and ranch – Like two peas in a pod, you want something light and crunchy. Celery does the trick nicely, that’s why the pizza restaurants serve celery with their wings.
- Shredded lettuce and dressing – If you don’t have celery, and want something quicker, then shredded lettuce is good. If you go pre-washed, then you don’t even have to cut it or wash it.
- More wings, more better – 5 wings per person is a good way to start. If you have a ton of chicken leftovers that is ok.
If you are good with the taste of these wings, then Tastes Better From Scratch has good Instant Pot Pork Ribs recipe that is amazing. Her ribs recipe is my go-to, and this wing recipe was adapted from her recipe.
