    If you have followed Buy This Cook That long enough, you probably know I adore chicken wings. I love them grilled, smoked, and fried. And now I think I love baked chicken wings!

    Or, you can totally drench them in sauce like we do. Your call.

     

    How to Make Easy Baked Chicken Wings

    Wings are one of my favorite things to chow down on. Who is with me?

    There is something about those tasty little bird parts that I cannot resist. Maybe it is the fact you can make them in so many different ways and so many different flavors.

    For this recipe for easy baked chicken wings, we start with fresh chicken wings. Sometimes, you have to get down and dirty and cut those wings yourself. It is a lot easier than you think. Use a sharp knife and cut each wing at the joint. (Discard those little tips.) Leave the skin on.

    Then the wings get a quick toss in a homemade dry spice rub. Get the complete list of ingredients at the bottom of this post. Just dump all of your dry ingredients into a large sealable plastic bag.

    Using a bag makes coating the chicken wings so easy. You can really shake them and rub the flour mixture and spices into the wings. Then you can just toss the bag when done. (One less thing to clean, right?)

    Place the coated wings onto a large baking tray that has been prepared. (See recipe at the bottom of the post for full instructions.) Time for your oven to do all the magic.

      I combined the melted butter ino the dry rub, and made a batter.
      They came out awesome, I also added cumin and cayenne pepper to kick it up a notch.
