Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 4 large russet potatoes
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
• Ketchup for serving

How to Make Saucy Chicken Wings with Fries

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the wings are well coated.
3. Spread the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and cooked through.
4. While the wings are baking, prepare the fries. Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin strips. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat dry with a towel.
5. In a large pot, heat about 3 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the fries in batches, frying them for about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, seasoning with salt immediately.
6. In a small saucepan, combine the tomato sauce and honey over medium heat. Stir until heated through, then add dried oregano if using. Remove from heat.
7. When the wings are done baking, toss them in the sauce until well coated.
8. Serve the saucy chicken wings with crispy fries and a side of ketchup for dipping.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the wings are dry before baking for extra crispiness.
• Fry the potatoes in batches to maintain oil temperature.
• Feel free to adjust the sauce ingredients based on your taste preference—add a splash of hot sauce for a spicy kick!

Easy Variations

• Swap the tomato sauce for barbecue sauce or buffalo sauce for a different flavor.
• Add your favorite herbs or spices to the fries for an extra flavor boost.
• Try using sweet potatoes instead of russet potatoes for a healthier twist.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh green salad for a refreshing contrast.
• Coleslaw to add crunch and creaminess.
• Pickles or jalapeños for a tangy kick.
• A selection of dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the wings in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to regain their crispiness. The fries can be reheated in the oven or air fryer for best results.
