Honey Mustard Chicken Wings

$8.04 recipe / $4.02 serving

I used to hate chicken wings. But, OMG, I think I'm officially a convert. These crispy, oven-baked honey mustard wings are so seriously delicious that I've craved them every day since I first made them. The simple oven baking technique delivers a surprisingly crispy skin without having to brave hot deep fryer grease, and my basic Honey Mustard Sauce makes an incredible glaze.

Sheet Pan Cranberry Chicken Dinner

$13.26 recipe / $3.32 serving

One of my favorite simple dinner "formulas" is two roasted vegetables and a meat. It's just so simple and when I can cook them all on one sheet pan, it's even better. For this Sheet Pan Cranberry Chicken Dinner I also added a balsamic cranberry sauce that cooks on the stovetop, but it's only three ingredients and takes only about 10 minutes, so it really couldn't be easier.
