Baked Maple Wings

These baked maple wings are a fantastic wing for a party. Any party. A birthday party. Father’s Day. Or yeah, the big game. Or the small game. Doesn’t matter. 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. A hint. Not enough to scare anyone. They are impossible to stop eating. The skin doesn’t get crunchy but it has a nice bite to it. They’re not ‘weird soft’ like some baked wings can get.

Baked Maple Wings

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. If you’re going to put the wings out on platters or plates or whatever, put a little sign nearby that says what they are. Especially if you make a few that are spicy. And then be prepared for the question. You know the one. “How spicy are these?” Well, that can be hard to answer, so I just figure if you have to ask, you’re probably better off with the non-spicy wings!

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!

Dan-O’s Original Seasoning Dry Wings

Have you seen those machines you can buy to make your house smell good? I always look at them and scratch my head. Why do you need one of those when all you need to make your home smell outrageously fantastic is to make some Dan-O’s Original Seasoning dry wings? And as an added bonus, after you get the homestead smellin’ good, you can enjoy some delicious wings! How much more of a win-win could you need? Or want?

Dan-O's Original Seasoning Dry Wings

Herby Deliciousness

Dan-O’s Original Seasoning was invented for poultry. Rosemary. Garlic. Good stuff that you might normally find on a roast turkey or chicken. Well, don’t forget the wings! These Dan-O’s Original Seasoning dry wings are what roasted wings should be. Crispy skin. Wonderful herby flavors. Moist, tender meat.

A Twist On My Usual Dry Wings

I’m a huge fan of dry wings. It’s hard for me to resist super-seasoned wings with 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 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.

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.

Oven-Baked Buffalo Wings

I didn’t go into making these oven-baked Buffalo wings with the highest level of optimism. I’m not usually a fan of baked wings. It’s really a texture thing for me. They get dried out. Or the skin isn’t quite like I like. Maybe I’m too picky. Well, even picky me really liked these wings. You can’t beat them for crispy skin, moist meat and great flavor. And boy, talk about a great way to make a big batch of wings with just a bit of effort! These are great for the big game or your next party. Or just sitting on the sofa and eating a big ole batch of wings by yourself.

Oven-Baked Buffalo Wings

A Great Sauce

The sauce for these oven-baked Buffalo wings is pretty much your standard Buffalo sauce. Usually you’ll find honey or brown sugar being used to sweeten the sauce. This one uses molasses. It’s what really makes this sauce great. Any time a recipe calls for something to make it sweet, consider molasses. It adds more than just sweet, it adds flavor.

A Few Key Notes

To help these wings come out perfectly each and every time, I’ve found two things are key. First, make sure your wings are dry before adding the baking powder mixture. I don’t mean sorta dry. I mean dry dry. If you start adding the baking powder and you get a dough-like mix, your wings aren’t dry enough.

Next, make sure you get a nice even coating of the non-stick spray onto the foil. Don’t go crazy with it. Don’t create an oil slick. Just get it nice and even. I’ve not had a single wing stick with this approach. No one wants to serve wings that have been torn to bits by struggling to get them un-stuck from the foil.

Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Ranch Wings

If you’re not a fan of oven-cooked wings, these Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Ranch wings are definitely going to make a fan out of you and quick. They did me. I’m usually a fried wing kinda guy. But these wings not only came out juicy and crazy flavorful, the skins were perfectly crunchy to boot. These are very addicting wings and they’re so easy there’s no excuse to not make them. Often.

Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Ranch Wings

Flavor-Packed Baked Wings

The packet of seasoning for Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Ranch Wings says it makes 2 pounds of wings. But it also says that for more flavor, use only 1 pound of wings. That’s the route I went. I figured, why would I want less flavor? Well, flavor is exactly what I got. So I recommend going the 1 pound route.

Of course, if you want to serve your wings with a dipping sauce, you’ll have to use Hidden Valley Ranch dressing!

Baked Hoisin Wings

It’s not uncommon for me to have wings two days in a row. It is uncommon for me to have the same wings two days in a row. These baked hoisin wings hit the spot for me. Lightly sweet, the lightly sweet and smoky sauce is finger-licking good. I could not get enough of it. These savory wings are baked until the chicken is cooked and the sauce is nicely brown. You won’t find crunchy skin here, but it does have a clean bite-through and great flavor.

Baked Hoisin Wings

Twice-Sauced… Or Thrice-Sauced?

I admit that I do ‘triple sauce’ my baked hoisin wings. The recipe (from the fine folks over at Kikkoman) calls for saucing them up front using half of the sauce. Then halfway through the baking, brush the wings with the remaining sauce. I always found that there was a bit too much sauce to use it all at once for that second saucing. Instead, I like to use half of the remaining sauce for the first brush, then I sauce them for the third time about 10 minutes before they are done. You don’t have to do that, the recipe is great as it is written. With my approach I always use up every ounce of the sauce.

Baked Buttermilk Wings

I’m going to be straight up honest. Baked buttermilk wings are not something I had a lot of optimism in when I first started. I prefer my wings fried or grilled, nine times out of ten. Not to say I don’t like baked wings. But marinated and baked… I just wasn’t sure. I knew the skin wouldn’t come out super crispy. And I was hoping for a clean bite and a lot of flavor. Well, happy me. I got that and more. They turned out deliciously moist and tender. Packed with flavor. And after a little time under the broiler, a little bit of a crispy skin.

Baked Buttermilk Wings

No Coating Required

When I first thought about making these baked buttermilk wings I thought about fried chicken. I marinate my chicken for fried chicken the same way. But I then toss it in a bit of seasoned flour and deep fry it. These wings are not quite that same experience. You get that moist deliciousness just like fried chicken. Without the deep frying you don’t get that crunchy exterior but you do get a bit of crunchy skin. My brain had a hard time with that at first but I ended up devouring a plate of these wings so obviously I wasn’t complaining!

Parchment Paper or Foil?

I baked these wings on parchment paper. The paper makes for easy cleanup and is fairly non-stick. You can use foil. If you want to crisp up the wings under the broiler after they are cooked you’ll want to use foil instead. Parchment paper is not intended for use under a broiler for any period of time. It’s paper. It’s hot. And paper and hot do not mix. Aluminum foil can handle that heat.

You can also bake the wings in a baking dish. I recommend glass for easier cleanup.

Use full-fat buttermilk for best results.

Baked Garlic and Onion Wings

If you want to make your belly happy and as a bonus make your house smell amazing, make yourself a batch of these baked garlic and onion wings. Lots of garlic. Lots of onion. Heck, I’m not always a fan of baked wings but these made a believer out of me. They’re very flavorful. They’re cooked perfectly. Nice and tasty, I’d make these again.

Baked Garlic and Onion Wings

Leave ’em alone

I do have one suggestion when you make your baked garlic and onion wings. Don’t flip them while they are baking. Just let them be. You turn them and they’ll lose a bit of that flavor. Not much, not enough to really notice, but you’ll see it. Heck, you can see it my picture. Believe me, they were still great, but if I learned something from a recipe, I’ll pass it along!

Crispy Baked Honey BBQ Wings

These crispy baked honey BBQ wings made a believer of baked wings out of me. I rarely make wings in the oven. Or rather, I used to rarely make wings in the oven. These wings were delicious. They were cooked just right. The skin had the perfect bite. Man, there’s just nothing worse than rubbery wing skin. Not a worry here, that’s for sure. And the sauce? Oh me, what a great combination of sweetness, smokiness and just a bit of heat.

Crispy Baked Honey BBQ Wings

A Real Crowd Pleaser

This recipe for crispy baked honey BBQ wings scales really easily. So if you need to make a bunch of wings for a bunch of people, all you gotta do is double it or triple it or more. The sauce is also great on the sauce for dipping the cooked wings, so make extra. It’s really good stuff, and people are likely to want more of it. I did.

I used Sweet Baby Ray’s for the barbecue sauce in the sauce mix, but you can use your favorite. Since you’re adding honey and a little heat, I’d opt for a more traditional BBQ sauce versus a sweet heat version.

Instructions

For the wings

  • Preheat oven to 425 F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray the foil with non-stick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, garlic powder, chili powder and black pepper.
  • Add the wings to the bowl (working in batches if needed) and toss to coat well. Transfer the wings to the baking sheet. Do not overlap the wings or let them touch.
  • Spray the tops of the wings with a little non-stick spray. This is optional but I think it gets the wings a bit more crispy.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Turn the wings and bake another 20 minutes.
  • Brush the tops of the wings with half of the wing sauce. Bake another 5 minutes.
  • Flip the wings and brush with the remaining sauce. Bake another 5 minutes.
  • Optional: If you want a little more color to your wings, place under the boiler for 3-5 minutes. Keep an eye on them, though. You do not want to burn the sauce.

For the sauce

  • Meanwhile, combine all of the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and then reduce the heat to keep warm until the wings are done, stirring often.

Notes

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