Easy Ways to Make Chicken Wings in the Oven

There are lots of great ways to make chicken wings but we’ll be the first to admit that both deep-frying and breaking out the grill can be a process—and sometimes you’re just not up to the task (or cleanup!). That’s where your handy sheet pan comes in; you can get the same results in the oven, as long as you follow a few simple tips like spacing the chicken out on the tray and letting the pieces cook until they're truly crisp. Plus, baking wings in the oven makes big batches a breeze. You can whip up enough for barbecues, get-togethers or game-day entertaining, all in one shot. We’ve rounded up our best ideas and you’re sure to love each and every one—but if you’re looking for a top pick, these sweet-and-spicy wings (in a bourbon-spiked sauce!) will not disappoint. Every bite is loaded with flavor.
