HONEY BBQ BAKED CHICKEN WINGS

I have always been a fan of chicken wings, but deep frying is not only higher in calories, but so messy.  Are you looking for a way to make BBQ chicken wings in oven instead of deep frying?

Discovering that I could make these delicious baked chicken wings and still have all the flavor, was amazing.

I also love that if I am making these on a day when we have company coming, I don’t have to stand over the stove for a long time.  I can simply throw this together and tend them in the oven as they cook.

So easy!
