If you enjoy dining out but want to save money and avoid greasy fried food, making wings at home is a great option.

Chicken wings are messy but irresistible. I often choose baked buffalo or curry wings, yet sweet chili, garlic butter, or ranch are all tempting choices.

Eating out can be expensive and most restaurant wings are deep-fried. Baking wings at home saves oil and lets you control flavors and salt.

This sweet chili wing recipe was born from an attempt to make an Asian honey glaze when I ran out of honey and reached for sweet chili sauce instead. It turned out delicious, so I baked the wings for crisp skin without frying.

You can serve these for dinner or include them on a Super Bowl menu for two.
