I think wings are the perfect football food.  We usually do Buffalo Wings, but this time we made these Brown Sugar BBQ Wings.  This recipe is a great alternative for those people that don’t like hot and spicy wings.  The wings are coated with a simple sweet and tangy homemade BBQ sauce.  They are easy to make and taste absolutely delicious!  It only took a few minutes to mix up the BBQ sauce and pop the wings in the oven.  We dipped the wings in some ranch and bleu cheese.  Next time I am going to double the recipe because these didn’t last long!

  1. I kind of wanted a bbq wing so can i half the ketchup and do 1/2 cup ketchup and half a cup of bbq sauce

  2. Made these to day for football today… They were AMAZING. i doctored my sauce with some hot sauce and It was amazing. Good snack for the game… Will surely be making this again. I am thinking about usin this sauce for some ribs. =)

  3. lisamaesc – I did cook them at 450 and didn't have any issues. I cooked them on a rack so they were directly on the pan – maybe that made a difference. You can lower the temperature if you oven cooks hotter.

  4. I cooked these yesterday afternoon with the small drumsticks. My husband loved them. My question is: is 450 degrees the correct temp? The BBQ sauce burned and the wings were done well before 35 minutes.

  5. These wings sound good. I made a Chris Lilly recipe last week that uses a simple caramelized soy sauce on peppered wings – heaven! So yea, spicy is good but sometimes you want a sweet wing.

  6. These look delicious, but they also look super sweet, too. I'd prefer a smoky and spicy BBQ to a sweet one, but I sure can't deny how good these look and I know I'd have to have one if they were in front of me.

  7. Sounds delicious! I'm going to try it with drumsticks instead of wings tonight!

    Just a safety point: the BBQ should be divided in half into SEPARATE dishes BEFORE tossing the raw chicken in it. Whatever is left over from the first half (that the raw chicken is tossed in) should be thrown away. Then toss the baked chicken in the other half of the sauce. You don't want to cross contaminate the BBQ sauce and toss the baked chicken in the same sauce you tossed the raw chicken. 🙂

  8. This barbeque wings sure looks delicious! Our mouths are watering by simply looking at them. Thanks for sharing Steph
