Addictively crispy and easy to make these oven-baked chicken wings are glazed with a sweet and sticky honey-chipotle sauce.
Do you love ordering fried chicken wings in restaurants or a sports bar but never think to make them at home because you don’t have a deep fryer?
Let me tell you – these chicken wings are crunchy, crispy and just as delicious as deep-fried if you ask me!
To make chicken wings at home, you simply drizzle with a little oil then bake them until crispy and crunchy.
For added flavor, I tossed the baked chicken wings in a sweet, sticky and slightly spicy glaze made with honey and hot sauce. Want to dial up the heat? Simply add more hot sauce or dial down the honey.

Baking:
Baking chicken wings at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes will get them to crisp up. If you need them crispier than baking will do I’d suggest running them under a broiler. That will make them really crispy!

THese wings are delicious and so easy. Recommended to all my friends. Love the zip from the hot sauce. Although I confess the first time I made these, I discovered my hot sauce had been in the cupboard for little too long, so I substituted 1/4 tsp cayenne. Still delicious!
Liz DellaCroce
hahhaha smart!

Sounds yummy!

These look wonderful but did I miss something? Your recipe states 1 hour cook time but it reads 25-30 minute bake with additional 5 minutes to set the glaze.
Liz DellaCroce
Sorry about that – that was a type-o. It’s only 30-35 minutes cook time!!
Alida
What an incredible flavor combination! I could eat that entire batch!

Dude – I couldn’t believe how good they were. Why on earth don’t I make them all the time!?

I love baking my chicken wings. They always turn out crispy and you don’t have to deal with the grossness of frying. Plus who doesn’t want more Tabasco sauce in their lives?
Liz DellaCroce
Seriously – why haven’t I been baking wings forever?? I never made them because I assumed they would be soggy sacks.
