Honey Bourbon Baked Wings start with a smokey BBQ Spice Rub and finish with a sweet bourbon sauce. These wings are sticky, boozy and downright delicious.


My husband and I adore chicken wings. Honey Bourbon Wings with a simple salad make a light, satisfying dinner. Plus, because they are baked, they are easy to make and much healthier than a fried wing.


We make my Oven Baked Hot Wings all the time too. I use the same baking technique on both styles of BBQ Wings and they come out perfect every time. These are our favorite go-to food for the football season!
