This is one of my favorite recipes to make! It is so easy but very delicious. Normally, I use the chicken drumettes, but for my photo, I used chicken wing portions.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Chicken wings are a must while watching football, and these baked BBQ chicken wings are a great recipe to add to the platter. The marinade is savory, tangy, slightly sweet, and a little spicy. It infuses into the chicken wings, adding tons of flavor. While baking, the honey slightly thickens up the sauce and caramelizes on the chicken. These are a nice variation to Buffalo wings.
