    Making chicken wings in the oven is a way to have lots of flavor, with less fat. These baked honey chipotle chicken wings are great for any party!

    My husband and his friend love to make chicken wings....I mean - every single Sunday during football season and any other time they can think of an excuse.

    There is only one problem with that (aside from the fact that I am not a big fan of wings) - they like to use the deep-fat fryer (this is the one that we have).

    Why is that bad? Because in addition to deep fried chicken every week not being particularly good for you, the stench from the oil is just starting to leave the house when they are starting all over again! They do move the fryer out to the back deck in the summer and take it to the garage (with the door to the outside open) in Fall and Spring but in the winter? My house ends up smelling like a fast-food restaurant for days and I can't stand it!

    So I figured there has to be a better way to make wings that keep all the flavors, but are healthier and don't stink up my house and so I decided to start having them making chicken wings in the oven.

    They weren't thrilled about it at first (I guess deep-frying everything to within an inch of its life is a "guy thing), but once they tried my  Baked Honey Chipotle Chicken Wings, they were somewhat convinced (and my kids just love them!)!

    These are perfect for game day or any party, are so easy to make and the best thing is that you make the sauce from scratch, so you know exactly what is in it!

    To make them, you will need:

    • 2 1/2 lb Chicken Wings
    • 1 tbsp Salt
    • 1/2 cup Ketchup
    • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
    • 1/4 cup Honey
    • 1 1/2 tbsp Chipotle Chiles in Adobo
    • 2 tsp Vinegar
    • 1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
    • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
    • Salt to taste
    • Pepper to taste

    Making them is easy!

      Chicken wings are not a staple in our house, but when we do get them I like them fried "hard". I might try this for a Sunday Supper recipe. #WWDParty

      I saw this over at Best of the Weekend Link Party and wanted to stop by to say that the wings looks so good!! I agree, wings don't have to be fried to be amazing.

        No, you don't have to fry them, you can cook them in the oven longer to dry them out a bit and the outside skin gets crispy. I like to cook mine this way and they are delicious!! 🙂

      I love chicken wings, but never make them at home. This recipe looks really delicious. I've never thought about boiling them before cooking. I'll have to try that. Thank you so much!

      I love wings too! But I usually make them on the grill so this will be nice in the colder months. Pinning for later!
