Finger Lickin Baked Chicken Wings
Want to enjoy delicious chicken wings at home? These deliciously messy wings are oven baked so they’re a tad bit healthier than the fried wings you get at most restaurants, and they are SO much better tasting.
Ingredients:
- 16 Chicken Wings and/or Drummettes
- 1/2 Cup Barbeque Sauce
- 1/4 Cup Honey
- 2 Tbs Soy Sauce
- Onion Powder
- Garlic Powder
Finger Lickin Baked Chicken Wings
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- If you’re looking for a lower-fat option, first skin the chicken and remove the excess fat. Or if you like the skin (like I do!) go ahead on to step three.
- Line a baking pan with tin foil, lightly spray with cooking oil, and place the chicken in the pan. Lightly season with onion and garlic powder.
- Cook for 25 minutes, take out, and flip each piece over. Lightly season this side with onion and garlic powder.
- Put back in the oven and cook for another 25 minutes.
- Prepare a second cookie sheet or baking dish, by lining it with tin foil and spraying with cooking oil.
- Mix all of the barbeque sauce, honey and soy sauce, in a small bowl.
- Using tongs, carefully dip each wing into the sauce a few times, and lay on the newly prepared cookie sheet.
- Pour remaining sauce over the wings, making sure each wing gets a fresh coat.
- Bake for 10 minutes, remove and flip each wing again with tongs, making sure you cover them again with sauce.
- Bake for 10 more minutes, and once again rotate the wings. The sauce will be a tad thicker this time, so it will really start to stick.
- Pop them back in the oven for just 5-10 more minutes, depending how done you like them, and give them one more lap around the gooey sauce before putting them on your serving dish.
- Prepare to have wet naps or plenty of napkins on hand. These wings are awesome but they are messy!

These sound fantastic! I’m a wing nut and here are two ideas you might want to add to this…
1) Instead of putting wings directly on baking sheet, get an elevated wire rack you can place on pan. This allows some of the fat to drip off and the skin can get crispier.
2) For final step, put under a broiler for just a minute or two. Keep an eye on them though! They will go from perfectly carmelized to burnt real fast so don’t get distracted.
