Betty White's Chicken Wings

Lennie's Note:

From my celebrity recipe collection; they sound perfect for a football party! The smell while these sticky wings bake in the oven is amazing.

• Total Time: 3 hrs 30 mins
• Prep Time: 2 hrs
• Cook Time: 1 hrs 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 3 lbs chicken wings (use the plumpest chicken wings you can find)
• ½ cup margarine or ½ cup butter
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1 cup brown sugar
• ¾ cup water
• ½ teaspoon dry mustard
• ¾ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Directions:

1. Arrange wings in shallow baking pan.
2. Heat butter, soy sauce, sugar, water mustard and garlic powder if using, until butter and sugar melt.
3. Cool; pour over wings and marinate at least 2 hours, turning once or twice.
4. Bake in same pan at 375F for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours, turning occasionally. (Use the plumpest chicken wings you can find; if your market only has the normal scrawny ones, don't cook longer than 75 minutes)
5. Drain on paper towels and serve.

This must be the "Sue-Ann Nivens" side of Betty White, not the "Rose Nylund"! These are awesome wings! I used a 3 lb package of the frozen "drummettes" and it worked out perfect! Sweet and slightly salty...a nice change of pace from the "hot" buffalo wings everyone else serves...and you don't need a dippping sauce to cool your mouth down!

If you like really, really salty chicken, this is the recipe for you. It called for way to much soy sauce. I reduced the amount and it was way to salty. Ended up dumping it down the sink. Sorry Bette.
