How to make Baked BBQ chicken wings
This is an overview of the recipe. The full instructions are below in the recipe card.
- Step 1: Add the chicken wings to a large glass bowl. Drizzle with oil, and then season the wings tossing evenly to coat.
- Step 2: Place the wings on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes.
- Step 3: Flip the wings halfway through the baking time.
- Step 4: While wings bake, heat the BBQ sauce and honey in a saucepan.
- Step 5: Once the wings are finished baking add them to a bowl and toss them in the BBQ sauce/honey mixture.
- Step 6: Return the wings to the baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes to caramelize the sauce. Garnish with green onions if desired.
Dip the wings in your favorite dipping sauce. We love Blue Cheese Dressing and Ranch dressing.
Eileen's Tips for Success
- If you are using frozen wings, ensure the wings are thawed and dry before beginning the recipe.
- Try crinkling the parchment paper before placing it on the baking sheet. It will help it lay flat.
- Don't place the wings too close together on the baking sheet. They will steam instead of roast.
- Giving the wings space on the baking sheet allows a crispy exterior and juicy interior.
Frequently Asked Questions
To ensure crispy wings, it's best to put the sauce on the wings after they have been cooked.

Variations
Do you want to change up this recipe? Here are some ways to change the flavor of this dish.
- BBQ Sauce: If you want to add spice to the wings, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the BBQ sauce.
- Our Chipotle BBQ sauce is another option to try on these baked wings.
- Try using different sauces on your wings. Teriyaki sauce, honey mustard, or buffalo sauce all work on the wings.
- Garnish: Fresh parsley or fresh thyme works well for garnish.
Make ahead, storage, and freezer tips
Storage - Store leftover BBQ chicken wings in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days.
Freezing - You can also freeze leftover cooked chicken wings in the freezer. Store them in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
Reheating - I've found that the best way to reheat wings is in the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and reheat on a baking sheet for 7-10 minutes or until warm all the way through.
