My parents started serving these at my brother’s high school graduation party and they have been a hit at many gatherings since! Most recently these were served these at the wedding shower I threw for two friends of mine. I would recommend you make these when it is warm out seeing that you do have to use the grill, but the night of the shower that we served these at, it snowed! My parents have a beautiful outdoor cooking area that has a fireplace attached so everyone enjoyed the warmth of the fire while seeing the rare and beautiful snow in Alabama.
The sauce has a kick but is still sweet from the honey at the same time. They are perfect for many kinds of parties or just a fun night with family. Most of the cooking is done indoors and they are just finished up on the grill so you don’t have to be a grill expert to try these awesome wings out!
Sweet and Spicy Chicken Wings
1 cup purchased barbeque sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
3 green onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons Worchestershire sauce
1 large garlic clove, chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
Olive oil
18 chicken drumettes
Mix first 9 ingredients in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to boil, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium low. Simmer 15 minutes. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Transfer to bowl. Cover; chill. Rewarm before serving.)
Preheat oven to 350° F. Brush rimmed baking sheet with oil. Pat drumettes dry; brush with oil. Sprinkle drumettes with salt and pepper; arrange on sheet. Roast until cooked, turning over once, about 30 minutes. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cool slightly, cover, and chill.)
Prepare barbeque (medium-high heat). Brush drumettes with barbeque sauce. Grill until heated and slightly charred, turning occasionally, about 12 minutes. Serve with remaining sauce.
