Raspberry Chipotle Honey Wings

I love chicken wings for a couple of reason. One is that they’re just yummy and there are so many ways to cook them and the other way is because they’re pretty cheap. So when I bought a 4 pound pack of wings a while back, I decided right then and there I was going to cook the whole ding-dang pack in one sitting. And I did. There are so many bbq sauces out there to try that I picked one I’d never had before to use as a base for the sauce that goes over these wings. Ummm...so yeah....GOOD doesn’t begin to describe these. IT Guy and I polished off a 4 pound pack of wings in TWO days. I could’ve eaten more but wanted to save some for lunch the next day. I fried my wings before tossing them in the sauce, but baking them would work too. Just baste the wings every 15 minutes or so until the wings are done. I prefer the frying method, but that’s just me. It’s a little more work but worth it, in my opinion. I like the crunch! So so so so so so GOOD!!

Raspberry Chipotle Honey Wings

1 4-pound pack of wings ~ tips removed then remaining wing split

1 cup Sweet Baby Ray’s Raspberry Chipotle BBQ sauce

1 cup honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon ground mustard

1/2 teaspoon - 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper ~ depending on how spicy you like it

2 cups flour

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

Heat 2 - 3 cups of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Place flour in a gallon sized zip-top bag.

Crack eggs into another gallon sized zip-top bag then add the milk. 

Squish the eggs and milk together in the bag until well mixed then add all the chicken wings and toss to coat all wings.

Add half of the wings to the flour and toss until wings are coated. (I like to do “like” pieces together so they all cook the same...I’m OCD like that.)

Drop the wings into the hot oil and fry on both sides until golden brown and done.

Drain on paper towels.

In a small sauce pan, combine the BBQ sauce, honey, soy sauce and ground mustard. Simmer mixture for about 10 minutes.

Place cooked chicken in a large bowl then pour the warm sauce over the chicken and toss gently to coat.

Remove to a plate and dig in!

Let's cook some wings!!

Combine the eggs and 

milk in a zip-top bag.

Add the chicken and coat, making 

sure to get all the chicken covered.

Then drop the chicken into the bag with the flour and toss to coat. I did this step in two batches.

Next fry the chicken in oil over 

medium heat.

Make the sauce! combine the bbq sauce, honey, ground mustard, soy sauce and cayenne pepper in a saucepan and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Place the cooked chicken in a large bowl then pour the sauce over the chicken and toss to coat.

Oh yeah!!

Yep, yep, yep! These wings are SO good! If you like making Asian food at home then you are in for a treat because these are good, good, good!

These would make great appetizers for your next party or tailgate extravaganza!

Baked Brown Sugar Chicken Wings

These are awesome! I love me a good chicken wing and really prefer them fried but baking them with the brown sugar glaze on them then smothering them in more glaze...pretty stinkin' good! And so easy! I sent the leftovers home with my daughter for her hubby who is a chicken wing maniac...and I have to say...I'm regretting that decision because I loved them so much. I guess that's a good excuse to make more, right? 

Baked Brown Sugar Chicken Wings



1 1/2 cups ketchup
3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 1/2  tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Coarse salt
Ground pepper
4 pounds chicken chicken wings, patted dry

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray or cover with foil.

In a medium bowl, whisk together ketchup, sugar, Worcestershire, vinegar, salt and pepper.

Cut wing tips off of chicken wings, then divide the remaining wings in half at the joint.

In large bowl, toss wings with half of the sauce. (Reserve the rest of the sauce for cooked chicken.)

Place chicken wings on the prepared cookie sheet. I like to put the "drumettes" along the outside edge of the pan and the smaller wing portion to the inside for more even cooking. 

Bake wings for 20 minutes. Toss then continue baking for another 10 - 15 minutes. I even set mine under the broiler for about 5 minutes to crisp the skin a little bit.

Place cooked chicken into a large clean bowl and toss with remaining sauce.  
Here we go!

 
Mix up the ingredients for the sauce.

 
Cut up the wings then toss them in half of the sauce.

 
Place them on a greased cookie sheet.

 
Bake 'em up turning half way through.

 
Toss with remaining sauce.

 
Share the love....or not. ;-)

Gotta love sticky wings, right?  At least I do! In fact...my whole family does. When my son-in-law eats wings, he sucks every tasty morsel off those wings...there's nothing left! And that's how it should be..because when the wings are as good as these...you don't want to leave anything behind!!! These. Are. Awesome.

Honey Chipotle Chicken Wings

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away....something new came on the scene that I loved. KFC introduced their Honey Barbecue Wings. Oh my....I could sit and eat those all day long. Personally I think they're not as good now as they used to be, but back in the day, I could eat my weight in wings. I have been known to send IT Guy out for them after the kids were in bed so I wouldn't have to share them. I'd hide the leftovers in the fridge so the kids wouldn't find them then I'd have the wings for lunch while the little darlings were at school eating their yummy sack lunches. How mean was I? Eh...what they didn't know, didn't hurt 'em!! ;-) A while back I made a honey-chipotle sauce that was SOOOO good. So far I've put it on meatballs and meatloaf (Yuck. Yuck to meatloaf...not "the sauce"). So when I was at the grocery store the other day, I spied chicken wings!! YES!!! So far, my favorite way to use "the sauce"...............if you don't make anything else you see here on SFFS....PLEASE make these!! Oh. My. Stinkin. Goodness. I could have eaten the whole batch! And unless I didn't hide them well enough from my kids...there's just enough for my lunch today!!!!!
