Super Bowl Chicken Wings

It is the Super Bowl weekend (if you haven't heard) and that means it is time to think about snacks.  Many look forward to this weekend for the football, others for the commercials and yet others (and I'm willing to bet most) look forward to this weekend for the food.  I am in the food category.  In fact, I once had a friend who refused to go visit her out of state boyfriend because she did not want to miss the snacks served at a Super Bowl party we were hosting....


It is estimated that 1.25 BILLION chicken wings will be consumed on Sunday. In honor of that statistic, here is my Aunt Julie’s Chicken Wing Recipe.  You cook these wings low and slow all day long.  Then, by the time the game starts, the juices have caramelized and the meat is so tender it falls off the bone.  Oh, so, so, good!  I recommend making these in a disposable pan for easy clean up.  If you don’t want to have your oven on all day you could also throw these on the grill.  Enjoy!


BBQ Chicken Wings

30 chicken wings divided into 2 pieces
1 large can crushed pineapple
1 cup soy sauce
1 6 oz. can frozen orange juice concentrate
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup sherry
2 Tbsp. brown sugar
Juice of a lime or lemon

Mix marinade ingredients and heat through. Pour over chicken wings and
marinate at least 2 or 3 hours. I usually marinate overnight. Bake at 325 degrees
for 1 and 1/2 hour. Baste every 20 minutes. These keep well in the oven on
low heat. The marinade just becomes syrupy and the wings even better.

Notes: this recipe can be easily doubled for a large crowd.  Feel free to add a little spice (Tabasco or Sriacha) if you like hotter wings.
