Ingredients

  • 3 lbs chicken wings, cut in two and tip removed
  • HOT SAUCE
  • 1/2 cup ketchup (I have even used the hot ketchup for this!)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (use more or less, depending on amount of heat desired)
  • 2 -3 minced fresh garlic cloves
  • 3 tablespoons minced dried onion

Method

  • Set oven to broil.
  • Prepare the wings on a shallow cookie sheet that is lined with foil, and spray with a non-stick cooking spray, or prepare a broiler pan.
  • Arrange the wings evenly in a single layer.
  • Place under the broiler until lightly browned (watch closely to not burn the wings) set wings aside.
  • In a saucepan combine all sauce ingredients, and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes (adjust the hot pepper sauce to suit taste).
  • Up to this point, all above can all be prepared a day in advance and refrigerated.
  • Set oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Using long tongs, dip each wing in the hot sauce, and place evenly on a greased baking sheet.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes (basting with remaining sauce during cooking).
  • To crisp up the wings, place under broiler for a couple of minutes.
