Extra-Tasty Baked Wings For A Crowd

I didn’t think these wings would be so good. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Right out of the oven, these extra-tasty baked wings for a crowd tasted as great as they smelled while they cooked. Slightly sweet. A good hint of soy sauce. And mustard. Yep, mustard. That’s the part I didn’t think would work. But it did. These wings are different, and a great way to feed a small group of people.

Extra-Tasty Baked Wings For A Crowd

So Juicy, No Sauce Required

I didn’t do anything to these extra-tasty baked wings for a crowd other than to take them out of the oven and eat them. I didn’t need to sauce them. They have plenty of flavor as-is. I didn’t need to serve them with blue cheese or ranch dressing. They didn’t need it. Just pick ’em up, eat ’em. Repeat.

PS: I do think that these wings would be great with blue cheese dressing. That blue cheese ‘funk’ would offset the mild sweetness. If you’re into that thing, go for it.

Instructions

For the wings

  • Combine the brown sugar, mustard and soy sauce in a large bowl or resealable container.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade in a small container in the fridge.
  • Add the wings to the bowl or container and turn or toss to coat.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least two hours (up to 12), turning every hour or so.
  • Preheat your oven to 375 F.
  • Line 2 large baking sheets with foil.
  • Lightly spray the foil with non-stick spray.
  • Remove wings from the marinade and place onto the foil. I like to turn the flats skin-side down for starters. Discard the marinade.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Flip the wings and baste with the reserved marinade. Bake another 30 minutes.
  • If desired, place the wings under the broiler for a few minutes to give them more color and to slightly crisp up the skin.
  • Serve.

Notes

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce on the side, if desired.

Dan-O’s Spicy Seasoning Dry Wings

This is Part Two of: Have you seen those machines you can buy to make your house smell good? Why do you need one of those smell-making machines when all you need to make your home smell outrageously fantastic is to make some of these dry wings? You get the homestead smellin’ good and you can enjoy some delicious wings! The first part was with Dan-O’s Original Seasoning. Now, it’s time for some Dan-O’s Spicy Seasoning dry wings. How much more of a win-win could you need? Or want?

Dan-O's Spicy Seasoning Dry Wings

Herby And Spicy Deliciousness

Dan-O’s Spicy Seasoning was invented for poultry. It’s full of the good stuff that you might normally find on a roast turkey or chicken. Well, don’t forget the wings! These Dan-O’s Spicy Seasoning dry wings are what roasted wings should be. Crispy skin. Wonderful herby flavors. Moist, tender meat. Oh and just a little kick. Not overwhelming, but a little spiciness to wake you up!

I Love Dry Wings

I’m a huge fan of dry wings. They’re hard for me to resist. I love them seasoned heavily. I love that great crunchy skin. Usually, I season my wings before cooking and then again after for extra flavor. For these wings, however, I go with one good, healthy seasoning beforehand. That’s it. No post-cook seasoning required or needed. These are great wings without more, no need to bury them in it!

Instructions

  • Combine the Dan-O's seasoning and garlic salt.
  • Season the wings with the mix. Let rest 30 minutes.

For the air fryer

  • Preheat your air fryer to 350 F.
  • Working in batches if needed, air fry the wings for 12 minutes.
  • Flip the wings and air fry another 12 minutes.
  • Turn the air fryer temperature to 400 F and fry another 6 minutes or until the wings are golden brown.

For the oven

Notes

I prefer to season my wings immediately after cooking them. The seasoning will stick to the surface of the hot wings better than if you wait until they cool off.

Roasted Honey Chicken Wings

I’m usually a little leery of baked wings that are marinaded in anything with sugar or honey in it. High heat tends to make the marinaded skin char easily. That’s why I went into making these roasted honey chicken wings with a little bit of worry. Well, whew, they came out great! Oh yeah, a little longer in the oven would’ve been bad news, but the cook time was spot-on. I ended up with super-tasty wings that were cooked just right. No char flavor at all, just yumminess! Lightly sweet, with a Asian-inspired taste, these are really great baked wings.

Roasted Honey Chicken Wings

Turn Once And Enjoy

The process for making these roasted honey chicken wings is pretty straightforward. Make marinade. Add the wings. Go do something for 3 hours. Come back. Put the wings in the oven. Flip the wings once while cooking. Eat. Seriously, how much easier can you get?

I used a silicone mat on a baking sheet when I made these wings. The nice thing about it is that it saves me a few cents on foil. The downside is there is a little cleanup involved. Foil works just fine and honestly, I’m leaning towards using that the next time. You could use parchment paper instead if you want.

Crispy and Juicy Oven-Baked Chicken Wings

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.

Crispy and Juicy Oven-Baked Chicken Wings

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.

Kentucky Kernel Seasoned Flour Chicken Wings

There are those that would argue that these Kentucky Kernel Seasoned Flour chicken wings are ‘just’ fried chicken. Yep, they are. They’re right. Well, not about the ‘just’ part though. These wings are delicious no matter what you call them. To ‘Buffalo-ize’ them I serve them with some sauce on the side for dunking. There, now we’re all happy!

Kentucky Kernel Seasoned Flour Chicken Wings

Through Thick Or Thin

Many Buffalo wings are battered and fried. Some have a thick coating. Some thin. These Kentucky Kernel Seasoned chicken wings are somewhere in the middle. They’re not overly battered so you might call them grandma’s fried chicken. But they aren’t so lightly battered that you’d call them traditional Buffalo wings either . Yes, I know, some folks don’t batter their Buffalo wings… but some do!

These wings have a wonder flavor. The seasoning in the batter is perfect. Not spicy, just tasty. Great just as they are, right out of the fryer. Even better, I think, dunked in Buffalo wing sauce. Not tossed in it, though. Tossing the chicken in sauce knocks off that crunchy batter and makes it soggy. So I go for the dunk!

Oh and yes, you can make these wings instead, if you prefer. I went for the deep-fry because that’s what I prefer!

Instructions

For the Wings

  • Dunk the wings in the milk. Get them well-coated then shake off any excess.
  • Add the wings to the fry mix and turn to coat well. I like to press the wings into the mix several times to make sure I don't get any 'bald spots'.
  • Heat 3" of oil in a Dutch oven or deep fryer to 350 F.
  • Working in batches if necessary, fry the wings 8-10 minutes or until they reach 165 F. Transfer to a rack over a baking sheet or a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Serve.

Notes

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or wing sauce on the side, if desired.
I like to put my milk in a short glass and then dunk the wings into it. You can also add it to a bowl and just roll the wings around to get them well-coated.
Sure, you can bake your wings instead of deep-frying them! Just follow the instructions on the package.

Baked Maple Glazed Wings

I admit it, I do sometimes dream of deep-fried chicken wings. I don’t dream about baked chicken wings. Or I didn’t until I made these baked maple glazed wings. I didn’t think the flavors of the simple seasoning and the easy glaze would work. I didn’t think I’d like them. In reality, I didn’t like them. I loved them. These are some of the tastiest wings I’ve had. I’ll make these again and again.

Baked Maple Glazed Wings

Flavor Galore

These baked maple glazed wings would be perfect for a party. You could make a big batch. They aren’t spicy, so they won’t scare off anyone. They’re lightly sweet. And they’re different. The oregano and nutmeg make for a fantastic marriage with the reduced balsamic vinegar and maple syrup. Honestly, I would make a double batch of the sauce. What’s the worst thing that can happen? That you’ll have some leftover for another batch of wings?!??!

Crispy Baked Wings

Ahhhhhh. Yes. These crispy baked wings are my kind of wings. Baked wings didn’t used to be my kind of wings. Not until this technique came along. Before this, I didn’t like the soft skin. The dried out meat. Nothing but wing sadness. Well, I’m not sad any more! Just a little seasoning and time in the oven and I’ve got nicely crisped-up wings. Grab some of my favorite sauce and I’m good-to-go!

Crispy Baked Wings

It’s Party Time!

You can make a big ole batch of crispy baked wings in no time. Or you can make a personal-sized batch. Whichever you prefer, it’s easy no matter how many you make.

The One Key To Success

As simple as they are to make, these wings do require that you do one thing right when you are preparing them and that’s make sure they are dry before adding the baking powder and pepper mixture. If you see the baking powder making a dough-like puddle at the bottom of your bowl you do not have the wings dry enough. Take the time to make sure you get them dry. The wings will get crispier and taste better if you do!

Baked Thousand Island Wings

I had no idea really how much I’d enjoy these baked Thousand Island wings. I kind of have a thing about baked wings to begin with. And the ingredients for sauce, although each yummy on its own, seemed like one of most unusual combinations I’d ever seen. Well, let me tell you folks. You need to make these. And not like next month. Not even next week. Today. Now.

Baked Thousand Island Wings

Yummy Sauce. Big Time Yummy.

Thousand Island dressing. Apricot preserves. Onion soup mix. Huh? But you know what, the sauce is AMAZING! I could drink this stuff. Literally. Heck I don’t even really like apricots and I would go for adding more to this sauce. It’s like the whole world turned on its side and my eyes (and mouth!) opened to great new flavors! I’ll definitely be making these baked Thousand Island wings again and soon.

Great Baked Wings???

I don’t usually like baked wings not because of how they taste but the texture is sometimes just not there for me. I like a clean bite-thru skin. I want a bit of color. And a bit of crunch. I actually got all those things with these wings.

If you’re looking to impress a crowd with super-flavorful wings that aren’t the usual Buffalo-flavored kind, make these and impress everyone!

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.

  • Pour the sauce over the wings. Get it spread out evenly.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil (but do not discard!). Return the pan to the oven and bake another 30 minutes.
  • Remove wings from oven and serve hot.
  • Optional: Spray the foil with non-stick spray on one side and transfer to a baking sheet. Transfer the cooked wings to the foil and place the pan under the broiler for 2-4 minutes (keep an eye on it!) to brown the wings and give them a bit of a crunch.

Baked Maple Wings

These baked maple wings are a fantastic wing for a party. Any party. Or the big game. They are easy to make and come out tasting absolutely fantastic. If you make the recipe as stated the wings are slightly sweet, with a slight hint of spiciness. They are impossible to stop eating. The skin doesn’t get crunchy but it has a nice bite to it. Not ‘weird’ like some baked wings can get.

Make It Several Ways

The beauty of the recipe for these baked maple wings is that you can make a minor change or two and have slightly different wings. That’s what makes these so great for a party. You can make several batches at once, letting your guests decide what variation they prefer.

For a spicy version add more pepper flake or add some hot sauce. For a more Buffalo-inspired version, add a cup of Buffalo sauce. The sauce recipe is very flexible.

Twist And Turn

As easy as these wings are to make, make sure you don’t ignore the instructions to turn them every 20 minutes during the first part of the cook. During the second part, where you’re cooking them using higher heat, definitely don’t ignore the wings for long. They’ll get golden brown quick. A little color is great. But don’t burn them!

Equipment

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  • Place the wings in a large disposable pan. Place the pan on a baking sheet to help support the pan. Use the baking sheet to take the wings out of the oven and you don't have to worry about the disposable pan collapsing.
  • Combine all of the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl and pour over the wings. Turn the wings to coat well.
  • Bake the wings for 1 hours, turning every 20 minutes.
  • Turn the oven up to 425 F.
  • Bake the wings for up to another 45 minutes, turning every 15 minutes. You don't want the wings to burn. You want a nice golden color to them.
  • Remove wings to a platter and drizzle with the sauce from the pan.
  • Devour!

Notes

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce on the side, if desired.
