Spanish Style Chicken Wings is a dietitian approved food for your next football or sports gathering.

This easy recipe is a bit more nutritious than take-out might be, too! You might be thinking that ordering them to-go is so much easier than making your own, but I’m here to tell you that homemade wings can be super easy and still super delicious.

This recipe serves six, but if you’re cooking for more (or fewer), you can definitely scale up (or down).

Once you make these once, you can even try different coatings to make different, customized flavors. Or, check out our BBQ baked chicken wings recipe, which is always a crowd-pleaser.

This recipe for Spanish style chicken wings takes an easy approach, coating the wings in flour, then in your sauce, and then simply baking them! Some people like to add more sauce mid-bake, or even marinate them ahead of time, to add even more flavor.

An added bonus to this recipe is that you probably already have all of the ingredients on-hand. The only thing you might have to buy fresh is the wings themselves, otherwise all of the ingredients are very shelf-stable!
