One of the things that makes these baked chicken wings so special is the flavorful sweet and spicy coating.
The sauce is perfectly balanced. It has just the right amount of sweetness and heat but you could always add a bit more of the hot sauce if you like spicier wings.
Best part, you've likely got all of the ingredients already on hand.

I really love this recipe…they were even better the next day. Hint…I made double the sauce and set some of it aside BEFORE marinating the chicken and used it as a dipping sauce when I ate them.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, John. Doubling the sauce is a great idea! Thank you so much for your feedback.
What would you serve with this as a dinner.
So many side dishes go well with chicken wings. I would suggest, Rice Pilaf, Macaroni and Cheese, Scalloped Potatoes or Roasted Vegetables. All of these recipes can be found on our website.
These were so easy and flavorful! I’m making a double batch this Sunday for my hubby and I to eat during the game!
