sweet and spicy wings

we love football around here

by the time the first kick-off  happens

i've worked myself into a frenzy

i have watched the draft

poured over stats

and chosen my fantasy football team

all that is left 

is the cryin'

i serve these on sundays

because wings are helpful

while performing

the lambeau leap

sweet and spicy wings
(printable recipe)

3 dozen chicken wings

1 recipe sweet sauce

1 recipe spicy sauce

ranch dressing for dipping

sweet sauce

2 Tbs brown sugar

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (doesn't have to be fancy)

2 Tbs ketchup

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

mix together and split into 2 bowls

spicy sauce

1 stick butter--melted

1/4 cup + 2 Tbs hot sauce (i use tapatio)

1 Tbs brown sugar

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp ground cumin

1/4 tsp smoked paprika

1/4 tsp kosher salt

2 shakes worcestershire sauce

1 Tbs white vinegar

mix together and split into 2 bowls

* i split the sauce into 2 portions because i like to avoid cross-contamination.

toss the chicken wings in a bit of olive oil and place on 2 sheet pans.  sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper and roast in a 375 oven for 20 minutes. after 20 minutes toss 1/2 of the wings in the sweet sauce, and 1/2 of the wings in the spicy sauce.  place on separate sheet pans back into the oven for an additional 20 minutes.  they should be good and golden at this point.  remove from the oven and toss in the reserved sauce (not the sauce you used when they were 1/2 cooked). serve with lots of napkins

EAT UP!
