Tender, juicy baked chicken wings coated in a fantastic sweet and spicy sauce that will catch your taste buds by surprise! Full of flavor and easy to make, this chicken wings recipe will give you a small batch of chicken wings, perfect if you’re cooking for yourself.
This easy baked chicken wings recipe is a spin on the wonderful chicken wings recipe I make when the weather turns warm. I usually fire up the grill when I make chicken wings but when I don’t want to go outside, this oven baked wings recipe is the one I use.
This small batch of chicken wings is just the right amount if you’re cooking for one. The recipe will yield 4-6 flavorful, tender, and juicy wings.
When you bake chicken wings, it’s all about the sauce, right? Sure, we love the chicken but there’s nothing better than biting into the crisp skin and getting a mouthful of a fabulous finger-lickin’ good bbq sauce.
You’ll find that this recipe definitely delivers. It’s not only easy to make but the sauce is out-of-this-world!
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.

How To Bake Chicken Wings
Step 1
Place the chicken wings in a medium sized bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the sauce.
Pour the sauce over the chicken wings. Toss and massage until each piece of chicken is completely coated. Cover and refrigerate the chicken for 20 minutes.
Step 2
Lay the chicken wings out on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes.
Mix the barbecue sauce, orange juice, honey, dijon mustard, and hot sauce together in a large bowl. Add the chicken wings and toss to combine. Cover and let marinate for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator.
Heat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C)
Place the wings in a single layer on a small baking pan. Bake in the oven for 40-45 minutes until brown and crispy.
