I’m careful not to throw around accolades. But when two chicken wing aficionados call your Honey Garlic Chicken Wing Recipe THE BEST…. you run with it.
And run hard!
The fun thing is, this recipe is SOOOO easy!!

My dear neighbor Pat gave me this recipe for How To Make a Giant Cinnamon Roll.
She thought of us when she saw it in a magazine and cut it out for me. It’s been laying on my desk patiently waiting.
The ingredients are quite basic, most well stocked pantries could handle. The instructions are straight forward, albeit there is yeast and resting/rising involved. However I’m certain most modest cooks could tackle this recipe.
Yet day after day, week after week, I avoided eye contact. What was it about this recipe that I was avoiding?

I knew Fresh Fig Crumble Bars would be a popular recipe!
Such a sweet way to incorporate my recent fresh fig score!
And boy are they delicious! The tender crumb is sweet and buttery and the jammy fig layer has a nice hint of lemon.

His words were, “This is THE Best Chicken Francese with Artichoke Hearts I’ve ever had!!”
That was good enough for me…
…so I made it for him again the next night.

This post is a lot more about how I like to serve Buffalo Chicken Wings then it is about how to make them, although we’ll cover that too!
Crispy baked chicken wings get dosed with the perfect sauce and a sprinkle of blue cheese.

These Crispy Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings have inched their way onto my short list of favorite wing flavors.
Mardi Gras still holds the top spot in my book, but these buttery garlic parmesan wings are insanely good.
There’s no spice, just lots of punchy garlic flavor mellowed by the buttery parmesan parsley toss sauce.
