So easy to make, this sticky Baked Chicken Wings recipe with an apple butter marinade is amazing!
Recently the kids and I took time out to enjoy our surroundings in North Georgia. We made sure that all things fall made were enjoyed, including local farmers’ markets, pumpkins, apples, oven-baked chicken wings, and of course the crisp chilly air. Thanks to Mazda, we sported around those windy roads in style with their 2019 CX-9 Signature edition. I love this car and its beautiful snowflake pearly white color!
Apple butter has been on my mind a lot recently, including my Instant Pot apple butter recipe is so dead easy to make up a batch from start to finish and all within an hour. It’s perfect for topping off toasts, biscuits, pancakes, and ideal as a marinade for these sticky baked chicken wings!
Whether you’re tailgating and enjoying game day, having a fabulous movie night in, or entertaining an oh so hungry crowd, these sticky chicken wing snacks are the perfect finger food appetizer recipe to serve up.
