Super Wings for the Super Bowl

By Sherril Steele-Carlin

If you're watching the Super Bowl with a gang of friends, you simply have to have chicken wings, it's that simple! They really aren't all that hard to make, and once you make your own, you'll never eat take-out or frozen wings again!

Barbecued Chicken Wings

  • 35 chicken wings, tips removed
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine
  • 2 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 2 large garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • Fresh ground pepper to taste
  • Kosher salt to taste

Place chicken wings, disjointed, in large flat pan. Combine other ingredients and pour over chicken. Let stand for at least 1 hour or overnight. Be sure all wings are well coated with marinade. Place pan in 350 degree oven and reduce heat to 250. Bake 1 to 2 hours or until done, turning wings at regular intervals. If all marinade is not absorbed, pour off and dry wings out a bit longer in oven (but not too much) before serving.

Chicken Wings Pacifica

  • 3 pounds chicken wings
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

Arrange wings in shallow baking pan. Heat butter, soy sauce, sugar, water, and mustard until butter and sugar melt. Cool; pour over wings and marinate at least 2 hours, turning once or twice. Bake in same pan at 375 for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels.

Broiled Chicken Wings

  • 1 pound chicken wings
  • 3 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 3 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • Fresh ground pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp. honey
  • 1 Tbsp. catsup

Remove tips from wings; cut wings into 2 pieces, and place in a shallow dish. Combine lemon juice, soy sauce, and onion powder; pour over chicken. Cover and marinate wings in refrigerator several hours or overnight. Drain chicken wings, reserving 1 tablespoon marinade; place wings on a foil-lined broiler pan.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Combine reserved marinade, honey, and catsup, stirring well; brush half of mixture on chicken wings. Broil 6 to 7 inches from broiler for 7 minutes. Turn and brush with remaining sauce; broil 7 additional minutes.
