Whether you're entertaining for the big game or hermitting at home, EVERYONE loves wings. Here are 40+ Fantastic Chicken Wing Recipes!
Like many people, my husband and I LOVE chicken wings... which makes it kind of weird that we only have a handful of chicken wing recipes here on the blog!
My Chicken Wing Recipes
There's my Maple Dijon Chicken Wings recipe, and my Honey Jeow Glazed Wings recipe. I've got Honey Garlic Cooking Sauce Recipe, which makes one of the most iconic wing flavours here in Canada.
Finally, there's my Smoky Dry Rub for Wings recipe, for a bit of a departure from the normal saucy wings thing 🙂
I actually did up a second dry rub recipe the other night. It's AIP / Paleo, combining garlic, onion, herbs, and citrus. It was SO good... it'll definitely be making an appearance here at some point!
Cooking Chicken Wings
As I've mentioned in past blog entries, I've completely fallen in love with our Air Fryer - the Instant Vortex 4-in-1 Air Fryer, 6 Quart by Instant Pot - which we bought a few months ago.
Wings are one of our most frequently cooked meals in that air fryer, and it's definitely become our default method for cooking wings. Quick, easy, no mess, and they make the wings nice and crispy, without all of the oil!
If you DON'T have an air fryer, I totally recommend getting one. I'm usually not big on having extra gadgets, and it takes a LOT for me to give up any of my meager counter space for anything... but this has been fabulous. It's fast, easy, healthy, and doesn't heat up the entire house, unlike my stove.
If I had my time back, the only thing I'd do differently is buy this model instead, as it's a size bigger. We didn't know anything about air fryers, had no idea if we'd like it, and ... like I said, I'm really fussy about giving up counter space. We get by fine on the model we have, but anyone with more than two people in the house should definitely consider a bigger model.
Anyway!
40+ Chicken Wings Recipes
I recently asked a ton of other food bloggers to share their favourite recipes for chicken wings, and they did not disappoint!
I've put together this post from their suggestions, and they all look fantastic! 40+ different flavours, a bunch of different methods - air fryer wings, BBQed wings, smoked wings, baked wings, and more.
All manner of flavours have been covered, from sweet to sour, spicy... even umami, with a fish sauce based wing making an appearance.
There are even a couple "wing-adjacent" recipes thrown in for good measure, like cauliflower "wings" and jackfruit "wings"!
SO much variety! We're looking forward to trying a few of these chicken wing recipes, ourselves!
