Wings, Two Ways

internetnut's Note:

There's no doubt about it-spicy Buffalo chicken wings taste fantastic and so does our sweet and tangy option. At your next party, offer two kinds of wings for all kinds of people. I found this in Family Circle Hometown Favorites Cookbook Volumne 2. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting this for safe keeping.

2. Heat oven to broil. Stir together ingredients for Buffalo Sauce. Brush enough Buffalo Sauce on wings in one of the pans to coat. Broil about 7 minutes or until crispy. Remove from oven; turn wings over and brush with more of the Buffalo Sauce. Broil 7 minutes longer. Let cool briefly in pan on a wire rack.

Remove from oven; turn wings over and brush with more of the Maple BBQ Sauce. Broil 8 minutes longer. Let cool briefly in pan on a wire rack. To serve, place wings on a platter. If desired, serve with scallions, celery and blue cheese dressing.

I was a little disappointed with the Buffalo sauce for this. It lacked something, but I'm not sure what. I, actually, liked the maple bbq sauce better, and I don't usually like a sweet sauce on my wings. I'd like to try these again with a little tweaking. Thnx for sharing your recipe, internetnut. And remember, this is only IMO! Made for My-3-Chefs 2009.
