These Crispy Baked Honey Chipotle Wings are the perfect crowd-pleaser with a spicy, sweet, and smoky glaze. Marinated with Cajun seasoning and baked to crispy perfection using baking powder, then tossed in a flavorful honey chipotle sauce, these wings deliver bold flavors and a satisfying crunch without frying. Ideal for game day or a tasty appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

Wings

  • 2 lbs chicken party wings (flats and drums)
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning (or seasoning salt as alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

Honey Chipotle Sauce

  • 1 (7.5 ounce) can chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Season the Wings: In a large resealable bag, place the chicken wings and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning or seasoning salt. Seal the bag and refrigerate for at least one hour, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the wings.
  2. Preheat and Prepare Wings: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, toss the marinated wings with baking powder using tongs until they are evenly coated. This will help the skin become extra crispy when baked.
  3. Bake the Wings: Arrange the coated wings on a large baking sheet fitted with a wire rack to allow air circulation. Bake the wings in the oven for one hour or until they are fully cooked through and the skin is crispy.
  4. Make the Honey Chipotle Sauce: While the wings bake, combine the canned chipotle peppers with adobo sauce, honey, light brown sugar, and low-sodium soy sauce in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth to create a sweet and smoky spicy sauce.
  5. Toss Wings in Sauce: Once the wings are done baking, immediately transfer them to a large bowl and pour the honey chipotle sauce over the wings. Toss thoroughly to coat each wing evenly with the sauce.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the crispy honey chipotle wings hot with your choice of ranch or blue cheese dressing and fresh vegetables on the side for a satisfying appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • For extra crispy wings, baking powder is key as it dries out the skin while baking.
  • Marinating wings overnight enhances the flavor but can be shortened to 1 hour if needed.
  • If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of chipotle peppers or use mild adobo sauce.
  • Use a wire rack on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking and crispy skin.
  • Make sure to toss wings immediately after baking for the sauce to stick well.
  • Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
