Since all of the sports seem to be back in action, it’s time to make food to eat while you watch. Chicken wings are one of many popular dishes for watching a game, and as it turns out are very easy to make. You can smother these baked chicken wings in any sauce you like. This recipe is for a spicy Asian style, but any sauce will work. Buffalo sauce, lemon pepper and Korean BBQ are all fantastic options.
