HOT AND SWEET CHICKEN WINGS

Hot and Sweet Chicken Wings image

Yes, another wings recipe. This was an experiment trying to find just the right balance of hot and sweet, as I love very hot and spicy and hubby does not. It's basically a combination of several recipes I've seen on this site and others. I did take a 5 pd tray of these to office Christmas party and was delighted their were no leftovers. Frozen drumettes or wing can be used, but i prefer the whole fresh wings.

Ingredients

12 whole chicken wings
1/4 cup chili sauce
4 tablespoons hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 cup butter
1/8 cup honey
1 lemon, juice of
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
salt
pepper
garlic powder
cooking spray

Steps:

note: glass baking dish should not be used, as it could shatter when sauce is added. If you do use, let dish cool before adding sauce, this I learned from personal experience. (what a mess).
wash wings and pat dry.
cut wing tips, discard or use in recipe as desired.
spray 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
bake wings in 350 degree oven until just brown.
remove from oven and drain grease if you wish.
while wings are baking in saucepan mix all other ingredients, heat on low to medium heat stirring often until bubbly, sauce will be rather thin.
add sauce to wings, stir to coat well, return to oven and continue to bake another 30-45 minutes stirring occasionally until desired doneness ( We like ours very well browned) Sauce will gradually thicken as it bakes.
we like these with spanish rice, a green veggie or salad.
