Ditch the deep fryer in favor of this quick and easy recipe for Crispy Baked Orange Chicken Wings tossed in a sweet and tangy DIY sauce.

We all have our guilty food pleasures. For some, it’s sugary cereals and cheese in a can. For others, it’s frozen pizza and breakfast pastries in a box. For me, it’s food court-style orange chicken.

Yep. The sticky, addicting, love-it-in-the-moment-but-loathe-yourself-after-you-eat-it orange chicken.

Lucky for me (and anyone else with my affinity for less than traditional Chinese food), I can now indulge in my guilty pleasure, sans the guilt, with Crispy Baked Orange Chicken Wings.

Sound too good to be true? Fear not! It all comes down to ditching the deep-fryer and embracing the crisping power of your oven.

Baking the wings at high heat atop a rack guarantees that enviable crunchy, golden brown skin without all the trouble of deep-frying. For the iconic glaze, sweet orange marmalade meets its match in the form of spicy red pepper flakes sautéed with loads of fresh garlic and ginger.

Now it’s your turn to dish on all your dirty little culinary secrets. What’s your guiltiest food pleasure?
