Tangy Barbecue Wings Recipe
Ingredients
  • 5 pound chicken wings
  • 2½ cup ketchup
  • 2/3 cup white vinegar
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • ½ cup molasses
  • 2 to 3 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon liquid smoke, optional
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Using a sharp knife, cut through the two wing joints; discard wing tips. Repeat for the remaining wings. Arrange the remaining wing pieces in two greased 15-by-10-by-1-inch baking pans. Bake 30 minutes; drain.
  3. Turn wings; bake until juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes longer.
  4. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the remaining ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat; simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Drain the wings. Place one third of the chicken in a 5-quart slow cooker; top with one third of the sauce. Repeat the layers twice. Cook, covered, on low for 3 to 4 hours. Stir before serving.
