Sticky Baked Chicken Wings

These Sticky Baked Chicken Wings are the answer to my holiday appetizer prayers. Simple to make and a healthy alternative to spicy fried wings.

Disclosure – I received a free copy of the magazine mentioned below. I did not receive any compensation nor was I asked to provide a review. I simply enjoy the recipe discussed below.

Confession Time

I’m prepared to make a confession….are you ready?

Here goes….I don’t really like chicken wings. 

I find them too spicy and I hate that you need like 1,000 napkins when you eat them. Which is sad because my husband’s number one dream in life is to split a basket of wings at dinner. It’s been tough on our marriage.

Food to Love Magazine Inspiration

Then I received the Essential Holiday Edition of Food To Love Magazine in the mail. While flipping through all the gorgeous holiday themed recipes, I stopped on this Sticky Chicken Wings with Dipping Sauce recipe.

I was intrigued because it didn’t call for buffalo or hot sauce and wasn’t served with the traditional creamy blue cheese dressing. Plus they are baked instead of fried, which is a win health-wise and also less mess to clean up. The bonus was that many of the ingredients are one that I always tend to have on hand.

Baked Chicken Wings to the Rescue

So I gave it a try and you guys….I am now Team Baked Chicken Wings!

These Sticky Chicken Wings have such a great flavor all on their own but paired with the asian-inspired dipping sauce they are heavenly!

They would be perfect for a holiday party because your guests won’t need 1,000 napkins to enjoy them.

Are you a fan of chicken wings? What do you think of these non-saucy style?
