The wings were a hit, good thing I didnt try any, as I would have eaten them.
As to the recipe, I'm going from memory as I often just wing it! Hehehe!
First, brine the wings over night in,... one quart of apple juice, 1 cup apple cyder vinegar, and 2 Tblspoons sea salt.
next day, drain, and season the wings with a dusting of onion powder, chili powder, paprika, and mango powder if you have it. set wings in oven at about 325 till they begin to brown nicely.
Sauce, in a sauce pan combine, one bottle of your fave bbq sauce,
one 8 ounce jar of apple jelly,( if you cannot find apple jelly, grape will work as a substitute)
2 Tblspoons of mustard,
1/2 cup catsup,
1/4 cup apple cyder vinegar,
small pinch of cinamon
One teaspoon minced garlic
just a dab, (like a tenth of a teaspoon) of chinese garlic chili sauce, more if you like spicy, less if you dont, but be careful, as chinese chili garlic sauce can be very potent.
( the hotter the sauce, add more jelly, as it makes it so one can eat a hotter sauce, if there is more jelly)
1/2 teaspoon of liquid smoke.
And a half of cup of compacted brown surgar, or honey, your choice.
Heat the sauce to bubbling , stirring regularly, then evenly pour over chicken wings when they are ready,( lightly browned)
Now you can just let the sauce finish in cooking the wings, but I like to turn the broiler on in the last few minutes to carmalize the bbq sause on the wings, but watch carefully so not to burn, and dont stir too often so not to break up the wings.
I usually just remove the wings into a crock pot as they carmalize, letting the rest glaze and so on.
Oh almost forgot, I made about 60 wings with this, it will handle more wings if needed.
Anyway, I hope I remembered everything, feel free to add a fave spice you like also, as all always improves any recipe.
God bless
