Chicken Wings
Hubby and I were planning on spending the evening watching NFL. And he had been craving chicken wings for a while. He ordered some last weekend and wasn’t impressed, so he was still looking to satisfy that craving. We trekked out in the 6″ of snow we got and headed to grab groceries for the week and decided to make chicken wings for dinner. The only thing missing was some cold beers!
I followed a recipe from Mrs Sac’s Purple Kitchen, except used a different sauce (those B-Dubs sauces are awesome though!)
Chicken wings – from Mrs Sac’s Purple Kitchen
2.5 lbs chicken wings, rinsed, dried, separated, and wings discarded
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tbsp garlic powder – I didn’t measure, just sprinkled some on
3-4 tbsp butter, divided
about 2 tbsp vegetable oil
BBQ sauce – I used Nance’s hot wing sauce (hot for hubby and mild for me)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with tin foil and non-stick spray.
Spread out wings on the baking sheet, drizzle a little vegetable oil over them and turn to coat. We just tossed the wings in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Lightly season wings with salt, pepper, garlic powder on both sides. Put in the oven and bake for 20 minutes, turn over and baking for an additional 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat approximately 1 cup sauce and 3-4 tbsp butter in saucepan (separate if using different sauces). Heat till simmering and mixture is reduced.
Remove wings from oven. If there is a lot of liquid on the tin foil, drain off, or replace and spray with non-stick spray. Pour sauce on wings and turn to coat. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, sauce will become like a glaze. Enjoy with ranch, bleu cheese & celery sticks.

I love making a bunch of different recipes and having them come together in one awesome meal! This looks so delicious, especially with the heat we’ve been having!
Next time I come over, I insist we either have these delicious looking Gyros or go to the Turkish restaurant you talked about.
Wow, I love that addiction to the stove! Your chicken gyros look super flavorful and like the perfect hot day lunch!
Sues
I love that every aspect of this meal is homemade… yum! What is the name of the Turkish restaurant? I need to check it out :).
I just made something similar and they were great! LOVE the sauce! Thanks!
Can’t wait for you to post the recipe – I am putting it on my menu for next week. 😀
I used to make tzatziki sauce too -until my grocery store started selling it for .99 cents for a 16 ounce container – so cheap!
Hope you have a great weekend!
I love me a traditional, good, lamb gyro- but these look delicious! I might have to break out of my comfort zone 🙂

We definitely have to try these…yum!
Those look delicious, I will have to try those!
Can the pita bread dough be made in advance and kept in the fridge overnight? I want to make these tomorrow for dinner but will not have time for the 90 minute and then 20 minute rise times. Any advice would be great. Thanks!
welcome to the bandwagon! love Elly’s recipe!
Manne – sounds like a plan
Lauren – It’s called Brookline Family Restaurant and it’s on Washington St in Brookline Village. Definitely check it out if you’re in the area.
Sheena – I’m not sure about freezing the pita bread dough. I’m sure it would be fine as other bread doughs can be frozen and used later. Let me know how it goes if you try it!
