Wings are great for any impromptu get-together, or a well thought out appetizer-centered party. We even have them for our main course at dinner once in a while, we like them so much. I’m very picky about my chicken wings. I buy them fresh from the meat counter- Okay, I don’t know if this way is fresher than the packaged wings and I bet they are, but I also love saying “I’ll take all the wings you have there.” What can be better than when the seasonings are simple, and the resulting flavor is bold without overpowering the juicy meat on the bone? Well, here you have it.
This is a great, easy recipe. Basically trim the wings, mix the sauce , dump on the baking dish. Done! Oh, and clean-up is a breeze! The recipe for these sweet heat roasted chicken wings adds complex flavors so the result is wings that can be eaten plain, or dipped in your favorite wing-dipping sauce. The sweet part makes the sauce caramelize to a nice crust. And as you can see, I like my crust really crunchy. You can adjust cooking times for your preferred crunch level. Also, most of the ingredients are probably already in your spice pantry.
Make a lot because you’re going to love them.
