“Barbecue Chicken Wings”

Hey there…Have I got a chicken wing recipe for you! As my sister would say, “There’s nothing like a good chicken wang.” Try my Barbecue Chicken Wings. This recipe is so easy, you can whip it up as a great weeknight meal or snack even your kids will love. Or do like my sister, Mom and I used to do when we had Saturday night movie night. Cook up some chicken wings…These days chicken wings are everywhere. But it’s fun coming up with your own flavors.

My Barbecue Chicken Wings recipe are wings coated in a sticky, sweet barbecue sauce made from scratch. The sauce is flavored with ketchup, onion, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, and tomato sauce. A slice of lemon adds a tangy note. You’ll notice I used margarine instead of butter in the barbecue sauce. Margarine is 0 trans fat these days. Butter will cause your sauce to break and the margarine will not. Also notice these wings are baked in the oven. Easy clean up…YAHOO!

So if you and your family have a hankering for wings, try my Barbecue Chicken Wings recipe. These wings are out of this world, finger-lickin’ good. Let me know if you’ve tried this recipe. I’d love to hear about!

1 large sliced onion

1 stick Land O’Lakes margarine (1/2 cup)

1/2 cup ketchup

3 T. tomato sauce or 1 T. tomato powder

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a jelly roll (sided pan) with non-stick foil. Set aside.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine all ingredients until margarine is melted. Allow sauce to cook for 10-15 minutes, removing lemon slice after 5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.

Dip chicken wings in barbecue sauce and place on foil lined pan. Bake for 25 minutes and turn over and bake an additional 20 minutes or until done. If you have any sauce left, cook for 5 minutes and use to baste wings if you like.

Enjoy!
