Oven Baked BBQ Wings

I live for Wings but the way I was dropping cash at Buffalo Wild Wings and Wing Stop was just straight-up disrespectful to my bank account. I’ve seen a few recipes floating around Pinterest for Honey Mustard Oven Baked BBQ Wings but they all seemed a little off from what I was looking for (lack of seasoning cough cough lol). I played around with a few recipes until I came up with one I was proud of so I’m sharing it with you guys.

During the summer months, we tend to do more snacking than cooking full-on meals because it’s just too hot. These are perfect for the days I want to cook but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen. Honey Mustard Oven Baked BBQ wings also freeze well so you can make them in August and freeze a second batch for the Super Bowl! I store mine using my FoodSaver and toss them in my deep freezer.

When that craving for wings comes on strong I dig them out and toss them in the oven. I haven’t been inside a Buffalo Wild Wings or Wing Stop in ages, and you won’t either anymore.

These Oven Baked BBQ Wings can be adjusted depending on how much heat you want. I can’t do anything to spice but Reese loves the heat so I usually make a batch just for her with extra cayenne pepper. 

ingredients

• 3½ pounds of wings, cut at the joint, rinsed, and patted dry
• 2 tsp of garlic powder
• ½ tsp of black pepper
• ½ tsp of salt
• ¼ cup of Dijon mustard
• ¼ cup of honey
• ¼ cup of BBQ sauce
• 2 tsp of white vinegar
• 1/8 tsp of cayenne pepper

How to Make Oven Baked BBQ Wings

Step 1:

Heat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 2:

In a large bowl add wings and season with garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3:

In a medium bowl, add the remaining ingredients and whisk together. Reserve a third of it. Add two-thirds of the mixture to the wings and marinate the wings. Refrigerate for an hour.

Step 4:

Add wings to a baking pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and the outside is slightly crisped.

Step 5:

Remove chicken from oven brush chicken with sauce and allow the chicken to rest for five minutes before serving.

Some Tips!

• Make sure to pat the chicken wings dry before seasoning them. This helps achieve crispier results.
• Don’t skip the marinating step! Letting the wings sit in the sauce enhances their juiciness.
• For extra crispy wings, bake them on a wire rack placed over the baking pan to allow air circulation.

These Oven Baked BBQ Wings are incredibly pair well with lots of sides and beverages. I love to eat them with creamy coleslaw, or just with some french fries.

What I love the most about these oven-baked BBQ Wings, you enjoy them with so many sauces, such as mayo, spicy Atomic sauce or even some barbecue sauce.

FAQ

Can I use frozen chicken wings for this recipe?

It’s best to use fresh chicken wings for optimal flavor and texture, but if you only have frozen wings on hand, make sure to thaw them completely before marinating.

Can I substitute the BBQ sauce with another type of sauce?

Feel free to experiment with different sauces like teriyaki, or even honey garlic.

Can I grill these wings instead of baking them?

Yes, you can grill these wings for a smoky flavor. Just preheat your grill to medium heat and cook the wings for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until they’re cooked through and charred on the outside.
