FAQ

Can I make this recipe with frozen chicken wings?

Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings. The cooking time will differ because the frozen wings don’t cook right away. You will have to put them in the oven for maybe 20 minutes then take them out, season them then back into the oven again. Once they are cooked you can coat them with your honey BBQ sauce and back into the oven for a few minutes.

How to BBQ chicken wings without burning?

To avoid burning your wings you can cover them with heavy-duty foil or cook them on low heat.

How can I thoroughly clean chicken wings?

My grandmother taught me this: in a bowl almost full of water, squeeze in fresh lemon juice and add about a tablespoon of white vinegar then soak your chicken wings for 30 minutes. Rinse well and dry them on a paper towel.
