I love wings.  The best I’ve ever had are my son’s.  He is a fantastic cook and his wings are outrageous!  He deep fries his that’s why they are so good.  Well these are baked so they are a little healthier, if there is such a thing for wings.  Now you can marinaded these or bake them and then put the marinade on them.  Either way they are good.

In a bowl mix together ketchup, brown sugar, honey, grated ginger, salt and hot sauce which is optional.

Whisk together and add wings.  Marinade in fridge for at least 2 hours.  Longer is better.

Place on a foil lined pan and bake.

In another bowl mix brown sugar, yellow mustard, dijion mustard, honey and grated garlic.  Add your second batch of wings and marinade as you did for the honey ginger sauce. After marinading, which is optional, place on the other side of the pan.  Bake at 350 for approximately 1 hour.

They are good.  Even great the next day cold or heated.

RECIPE

INGREDIENTS

24 Wings

HONEY GINGER SAUCE

1 cup Brown Sugar

1/4 – 1/2 cup Honey

1 – 1 1/2 cups Ketchup

3 -4 Tablespoons Grated Ginger

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

Whisk all the ingredients together and place half of your wings into the sauce and mix to coat the wings, then into the fridge to marinade for 2 – 6 hours. Place the wings on a foil lined baking sheet and bake for approximately 1 hour. OR place the wings on the baking sheet and bake without the sauce. Then place the sauce in a pot and heat (bring to a boil) just before the wings are done.  When the wings are finished baking, either place them into the sauce or serve as a dipping sauce.

INGREDIENTS

Honey Mustard Sauce

3/4 cup Brown Sugar

1/2 cup Yellow Mustard

1/2 cup Dijion

1/4 -1/2 cup Honey

3 Cloves Grated Garlic

PREPARTATION INSTRUCTIONS

Whisk all the ingredients together and add your wings to marinade.  Place in fridge for 2 – 6 hours.  Then place wings on foil lined baking sheet and bake approximately 1 hour.  OR place the wings on the baking sheet and bake without the sauce.  Then place marinade in a pot ready to heat (bring to a boil) and pour on your wings when they are baked.  This also can be used as a dipping sauce.

Wings can also be coated with melted butter before adding any sauce, if they are baked dry.  Who doesn’t like butter on things? It gives a nice creamy rich texture to food.  The one other thing I do is heat boil) the sauce leftover from marinading and use it to coat veggies or rice.

This recipe is a nice alternative to deep frying your wings.  It is easy to make and there is less cleanup.  Leftovers are great hot or cold!
