So easy to make, this sticky Baked Chicken Wings recipe with an apple butter marinade is amazing!

A rustic plate lined with parchment paper, piled high with sticky chicken wings garnished with fresh herbs, served with a small bowl of dark dipping sauce and sliced green jalapeรฑos on the side.

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!
