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!

Oven Baked Chicken Wings

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.

Ingredients In Baked Chicken Wings

To make the sauce you will need:

BBQ sauce
orange juice
honey
dijon mustard
hot sauce

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.

What To Serve With Baked Chicken Wings

If you would like to add a side dish to serve with the wings, you might want to consider a single serving of rice, roasted vegetables, or a small side salad.
