Chicken Wings

Monday, January 26, 2009

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 am obsessed with your crockpot chicken tacos and am sure this is going to be another favorite crockpot chicken recipe in our house!

P.S. I had a cake craving last night and jumped on your blog to look up cupcake recipes… you have 101 cupcake recipes?!!

  Yea… about those cupcakes. I went through a phase at the beginning of my blog. And I’ve been blogging 3.5 years, so that’s really only about 30/year…

Sounds delicious and perfect for leaving in the pot before work and coming home to wonderfully cooked chicken. Can’t wait to try it!

Sounds delicious, but I’m sure I’d have to just add one of those chiles 🙂

Nothing bad about pulled chicken. Nothing. Love all the flavors that the chicken was simmering in. Bet this was awesome!

Has anyone tried freezing this? I dont eat meat, but I am thinking about making this for my husband but there is no way he could eat a whole pot to himself.

  Like most crockpot meals, this meat freezes just fine. I like to portion it out into individual sized portions prior to freezing so you can just grab one and go.

Hi! I made this last year and it was a huge hit. I want to make it again for a holiday pot luck, but when I looked at the recipe today, it seemed to have the directions listed twice, and no ingredient amounts. I was able to find the recipe at eating Well, but wanted to let you know that there may be something wrong here.

  Thanks for the update. I am fixing the post now. Glad this recipe was a success for you!
