Introduction

I love Wendy's Honey BBQ Wings, but at 580 calories I can't even get fries or a frosty to go with them. I came up with this to satisfy my craving, and still be able to enjoy a side.

    It would be much more helpful if people would not rate or write a review until they have actually made the recipe. Reviews from people who have no idea how the food actually tastes make the rating system worthless. I already know how it "sounds" or "looks." Thanks. - 1/5/10

    Tastes exactly the same as dousing chicken in a jar of pre-made honey barbecue sauce. No more, no less. I was thinking maybe the sauce would at least get sticky and glazey to approximate the fast-food version. It's fine, but with all due respect, I can't understand how this won. - 12/5/09

    I baked for 15 minutes to get it nice and crisp without letting them burn and served atop a greens salad. DELICIOUS! - 1/9/10

    Kicked it up a notch with cajun seasonings. It was great! Something the whole family enjoyed--and that's a huge plus. Served with a salad and baked sweet potato fries. - 1/5/10

    Not Exactly a Substitute... I could definitely eat it with brown rice and maybe some pineapple. It's definitely not a substitute. Not very sweet, not crispy at all, and not fantastic at all but could be a part of a sensible meal. - 7/9/10

    I think what Wendy's does is just toss nuggets in sauce. I think a better re-make would be to bread the chicken with egg whites and bread crumbs and oven fry so it crisps up. Reduce the sauce in a pot so it thickens and gets sticky, toss some with the nuggets and pass the rest at the table. - 1/5/11

    This recipe was ok, but when I want wings, I crave the crispy factor! Might try with bread crumbs or something similar next time. - 2/25/10

    Doesn't remind me of wings. Just barbequed chicken. The chicken came out tender; I seasoned it with Mrs Dash Garlic and Herb prior to marinating it. - 2/7/10

    I have a Microwave Convection Oven---I first microwaved it for 12 minutes(6+6) and then roasted it in the Convection Oven for 10 minutes---not very crispy but ice---and main point---HEALTHY!!! - 9/30/10

    If you cute your pieces small enough they definitely don't need to cook for so long. Mine turned out burnt and well just not good. I agree with the other person who said they just tasted like dousing chicken in BBQ sauce from a jar. Not a fan. - 1/1/10

    Very simple to make. Thought these were good, but nothing special. Felt something was lacking. I do imagine it does matter what kind of BBQ sauce you use, in order to get a good flavor. None the les- good, easy, and simple - 1/7/10

    Very good. Next time, I think I'll bake for 5 mins less then, brush on more sauce then broil for 3-5 min to "crisp" them up a bit. They were very tasty, tender & juicy though. Definitely will make again! - 2/3/15

    Made this recipe and I must say that using a store bought BBQ sauce is not the best way to go. You can make your own BBQ sauce with a lot less calories and it will taste better. For this being a finalist recipe in the contest, it fails by comparison. - 9/26/11

    It sounds like you are to use the reserved marinade for dipping. Please do NOT do this as there was raw chicken in it. It should be discarded. - 9/25/11


  • no profile photo


    Looks good, but I can't figure how you came up with the calories. Did you measure the drained off marinade and take a percentage of that and add to the recipe calculator? Any way I try, I get way more calories and more carbs, and I tried light and reduced carb BBQ sauce nutritional info. Thanks. - 9/25/11
