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.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What temperature should chicken wings be baked at?
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!
How do you make spicy wings?
Want to dial up the heat on these wings? Simply add more hot sauce to give them an extra kick or dial down the honey.
Does canola oil have to be used to make wings?
No. Canola oil does not have to be used. You can use vegetable oil or olive oil and achieve the same result.

No forks required.

What a tasty dish!!!. Thanks for sharing. I think your dish is very delicious. I will make this recipe for my family and my friend. I hope you have more recipe like this.

Hi…I was just wondering why you use Canola Oil to toss the wings in before baking…Thanks…!
It has a higher smoke point than olive oil but you can use another type such as avocado or peanut oil also!
Can I use olive oil or vegetable oil instead of canola oil?
Yes! :)
Right on time try it out
I hope you love it!
I made it Soooo Good

Great recipe, thanks for posting.
Of course! Enjoy!
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!
hahhaha smart!
I love easy dinner recipes, especially when they turn out to be something my whole family loves!. This one also looks tasty.This is literally one of the most delicious things I have made! thank you for sharing a great recipe!!
I’m so glad!
Hello!
Will the wings get crispy when cooked this way? My husband loves it when the wing tips are super crispy:)
YES!! Very crispy!! You can always turn on broiler to make them even MORE crispy!
This is a great recipe for crispy baked wings. Made these wings as per the instructions and they came out perfect.
I’m so glad you enjoyed them!!
Enjoy it and drink some beer
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.
Sorry about that – that was a type-o. It’s only 30-35 minutes cook time!!
What an incredible flavor combination! I could eat that entire batch!
I get wings cravings just about every other month and it’s pretty much all I can think about eating all day long, it’s bad, haha. Next time I’m making these!
Dude – I couldn’t believe how good they were. Why on earth don’t I make them all the time!?
I’d like to eat a pound of these alongside a beer or two at happy hour. Yum!
I participated in a Tabasco challenge last year! It was tough. #not. Serves 4? Not if I’m around.
haha I was nervous at first then I accidentally made twice as many recipes than I needed – haha!
Homemade wings are so good and so much better for you than getting them out! I can’t wait to try these at home! They’ll be gone in minutes, I just know it. :)
I seriously am hooked and want to make them more often now!!
Oh yum! These look really good!
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?
Seriously – why haven’t I been baking wings forever?? I never made them because I assumed they would be soggy sacks.
