I love food. I mean really LOVE food. I love making it, I love eating it, and I love trying new things.
So what do I do with all my bored time? I look at food. Pinterest (my love and my enemy), food blogs, the Food Network...they fill much of my time. Unlike a lot of people, however, I actually like to try the things that I've found. Some of them totally fail, but I have found some AMAZING recipes that I love including the best cupcakes I've ever eaten, a great pork chop recipe that Spencer loves, and a recipe I would like to share with you today: Baked Brown Sugar Chicken Wings.
So turns out Spencer didn't think these would be any good, because he'd never heard of anyone making wings at home. Bah, I would show him. We LOVED them! They are delicious and so juicy and tender, not nearly as sweet as the title might sound, but savory and yummy...sigh, I crave them as I type. So I thought I would share the recipe, in case anyone would like to share in the goodness.
Baked Brown Sugar Chicken Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Place the wings onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, using tongs to turn half-way through.
If you want it had ingredients for a yummy dipping sauce too. We didn't make it, but I want to someday.
- 1/3 cup roasted red pepper, chopped
- 2 ounces goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
The only issue was the seasonings didn't stay on the wings as well as I'd like, so I'll be playing with that a little bit the next time we make them. But they are good. Oh, so very, very good.
