Wings for Days and Days and Days.......

What is America's obsession with chicken wings? We have whole restaurants devoted to just chicken wings. Different flavors, fried, grilled or baked, bone in or boneless ... so many choices ... so little time!

How do you like your wings? I've dug through the recipes and found over a week's worth of tasty treats to share.  They are great as an appetizer or a main course.  My family has been known to eat it's weight in Nana's secret chicken wings, which she made every Christmas Eve. Much like the chicken bombs I highlighted during Super Bowl week, chicken wings are often really easy to make and pack a lot of flavor in each bite!

Lemonade Glazed Wings

Ingredients:
2-3 lbs. chicken wings     1/4 c. frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed     1/4 c. soy sauce
3 tbsp. vegetable oil         2 tbsp. honey      2 tsp. dijon mustard      1/2 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. dried thyme         

Directions:

1. Pre-heat grill to medium-high.
2. In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients except wings.
3. Heat to just boiling over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
4. Remove from heat and set aside until completely cool.
5. Place wings in resealable bag. 
6. Add half of the marinade, turning to coat.
7. Refrigerate for 3 to 5 hours, turning occasionally.
8. Drain wings and discard that marinade.
9. Place on grate over heat and cook for 20-25 minutes.
10. Turn wings and brush with reserved marinade every 5-10 minutes.
11. Wings are done when they are browned and cooked through.

For you heat and spice seekers, this is not necessarily your recipe. I will have more of those to come.  This is a crowd pleaser with the tartness of the lemonade and the sweetness of the honey mixed.

As always, have fun!
