February was a hectically busy month, and I can’t be sure exactly where the time went! We did have the good fortune though of travelling to Fort William for a wee break. The night before I was hardly in the mood to cook anything particularly extravagant (due to the other chores I was up to such as packing!). As such, I made these deliciously tasty spicy baked chicken wings for a quick and easy treat.

Deliciously easy spicy oven baked chicken wings recipe are perfect for parties and entertaining - the whole family will love them! This recipe bakes the chicken wings for a healthier easier option. #dinnerideas #recipeideas #recipes #entertaining #partyfood #partyideas

Served alongside my homemade ranch dipping sauce, these spicy baked chicken wings have all the flavour and crunch you’d expect from a chicken wing. Though due to being oven baked they’re a much healthier, cleaner and easier option.

My pet peeve when deep-frying anything is the muss and fuss it makes. It’s also incredibly time-consuming! Wings baked in the oven on the other hand, well, they require very little attention at all! Perfect for when you want a simple treat meal before a weekend away.

After the chores were completed, we were able to sit back and relax with these spicy baked chicken wings. Taking a short cut, we served them with some hot chips from the local chippy! Then we settled in for a few good movies worth curling up to. It was a great way to spend the evening prior to a very long drive the next day!

Our adventure to Fort William was a lovely little trip away, and the small town was a complete winter wonderland. During the drive north, we passed many a loch, snow-capped mountains. We also drove through what I would describe a snow storm! Honestly, the highlands of Scotland are so scenic, peaceful and serene. I highly recommend visiting them, should you ever have the opportunity.

Let’s talk Ingredients…

Chicken Wings: These are cheap and cheerful, and typically come jointed. If not, you can bake them as is. Alternatively, use a sharp knife between the bones to divide them into pieces.

Rapeseed Oil: I used Scottish Rapeseed oil as it is a much healthier oil compared to Olive. However, should you not have Rapeseed oil available to you, then olive oil is a perfectly acceptable alternative.

Herbs & Spices: These herbs and spices are a wonderful combination that create a perfectly spicy and crunchy chicken wing without being too hot, or too overwhelming. Of course, if you feel they spice mix required a little bit more of this or that, then experiment to your hearts contentment!

Ranch Dipping Sauce: I use my Homemade Ranch Seasoning to make my Ranch Dipping Sauce as I find it far tastier than anything you can buy in a supermarket.
