Oven Roasted Chicken Wings with BBQ Sauce
Yesterday we posted our Jack Daniel’s BBQ Sauce recipe. Now, how about something to spread that BBQ sauce onto? How about chicken wings? Have we got your attention?
…. Let’s assume you said, “Yes!”.
So wings aren’t exactly a healthy food option, but these are at least a little healthier than their deep fried version. Don’t get us wrong–we do enjoy fried wings, but we choose these so we can avoid the guilt…and they taste awesome too…so why not?!
An interesting fact about this recipe is that the chicken wings are coated in cornstarch (among other spices) before going into the oven. This is a little trick Nelson learned from chef Michael Smith on one of his Food Network shows. The cornstarch gives the chicken a nice little crunch which brings it a little closer to the texture of fried wings. Hmmm… who knew?! We all do now…so go enjoy this recipe.
