Need A Wippie Wings!


Need A Wippie Wings!



1 large bag wings
your favorite BBQ sauce 
(I suggest a local vendor or a mom & pop brand of BBQ.  We like Cookies, it's always a good option.)
S&P
cooking spray
aluminum foil


Here they are, Need A Wippie Wings!  So, the truth is, I'm not really a huge wing fan myself!  However, the guys around my table are big wing eaters &, if it makes them happy, then I'll fix them!  I found this technique, which is really all this recipe is about, & I have stuck with.  They never fail to turn out right!

So, preheat your oven to 500 degrees.  Then, line a cookie sheet with foil & spray with cooking spray, which is a huge mess saver.  Next, rinse your wings with water.  Now, it's all your choice what happens from here.  You can take your cooking sheers and cut off the tips and just have drumettes.  Option two, you can fold & lock them and have the large full wings my husband likes.  After you prepare your wings, place them on the pan then salt & pepper them to taste.  

Now, here is where the technique comes into play.  Cover the top side only of the wings with your favorite BBQ sauce, leaving the bottom side against the foil without sauce.  I like to use a pastry brush to slather them real good.  Half way through cooking, you are going to flip them with tongs and then apply the sauce to the opposite side.

Don't be concerned about how blackened your foil gets, it's bound to happen.  You are going to discard it anyway, so it really doesn't matter.  So, bake them for 15 minutes, then take them out flip & slather again.  Now, bake for 15 more minutes.  Time may vary depending on size of the wings.  Just take one out and slice to the bone.  Juices need to run clear for it to be cooked through.  It could take total of 30-45 minutes to cook through.  It will be shorter for drumettes & longer for full wings.

Time to plate them up!  Some like wings with blue cheese dressing, others with ranch & some just by themselves.  They are sure to please a hungry group & perfect for a game night get-together!
