I will never lose this recipe.  It makes perfect honey BBQ chicken wings.  They are to die for.  It’s a perfect sauce and just enough sweet and savory flavors.  I won’t try another chicken wing recipe!  Just make them and you’ll see for  yourself! 🙂

For anyone sensitive to spicy foods or who has an I.C. bladder like me, I omitted the cayenne and hot sauce and it turned out just perfect!

INGREDIENTS:

• 18 chicken wings, that have tips discarded, and have been split into two parts: the drumette and the wingette.
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon sugar
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon paprika**
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon black pepper**
• cooking spray
  

  SAUCE INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup barbecue sauce, preferably Hickory Smoke Flavor**
• ¹⁄₂ cup honey
• 2 tablespoons ketchup**
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce**

• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon garlic powder

**Known IC irritants, tread carefully!

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat the oven to 375.
2. Season the wings with the salt, garlic, pepper, cayenne, sugar, and paprika.
3. Spray a cookie sheet with a generous spray of cooking spray.
4. Place the wings in a single layer on the cookie sheet, and place in the oven.
5. Cook for 35-40 minutes, depending on the size of the wings, turning once.
6. While they are baking, make the sauce by slowly simmering the sauce ingredients over the lowest heat.
7. When the wings are done baking, carefully dip them in the sauce, and place them back in the oven for another 5 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling.
8. ENJOY!
