Directions

Let’s dive into the steps to get those wings perfectly cooked:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, mix together the chicken wings, barbecue sauce, and honey. Toss well so each wing is coated.
3. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the sheet.
4. Bake the wings for 40-45 minutes, turning them halfway through. They should come out crispy and fully cooked.
5. Serve hot and enjoy the amazing flavors of your homemade Honey Barbecue Chicken Wings!

How to serve Honey Barbecue Chicken Wings

To make your wings even more enticing, consider serving them with creamy ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping. Pair them with fresh vegetables like celery or carrot sticks for a crunchy contrast. You might also add a side of crispy fries or coleslaw for a complete meal.

How to store

Got leftovers? No problem! Store any uneaten wings in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through and crispy. You can freeze these wings as well; just ensure they’re sealed tightly to avoid freezer burn.

Tips to make

For the best results, try these extra tips:

• Pat the wings dry before tossing them in the sauce; this will help create that desirable crispiness.
• If you want an extra layer of flavor, marinate the wings in the barbecue sauce and honey for a couple of hours before baking.
• To take the health angle up a notch, consider baking them on a cooling rack placed on the baking sheet, allowing grease to drain away.

Variations

Feeling adventurous? Here are some fun variations to consider:

• Spicy Honey BBQ Wings: Add a tablespoon of hot sauce to your marinade.
• Garlic Parmesan Wings: After baking, toss the wings in melted butter mixed with minced garlic and grated Parmesan cheese.
• Asian-Inspired Wings: Use teriyaki sauce instead of barbecue for a delightful twist.
