According to my calculations, these crispy and juicy oven-baked chicken wings were 16.8 times better than I’d ever expected. Or hoped for. I could not get over how much I loved these wings. That’s saying a lot because I’m not always a baked wing fan. Well, out the window goes that thought because these wings were flavorful, lightly crispy, and just flat-out great.
Saucy. Or Not…
I tossed my crispy and juicy oven-baked chicken wings in a little bit of bottled Buffalo wing sauce before serving. I used very little sauce. The flavor on the wings is so great that I didn’t want to bury them. I could’ve easily just served them right out of the oven, sans sauce as we say. These wings would be perfect for a party. Easy to make, and delicious. And, by using different sauces, you can satisfy anyone’s tastes.
These are some great baked wings.
