Margaritaville Jamaica Mistaica Wings

"This is a copycat recipe from Jimmy Buffet's restaurant. Recipe adapted from Todd Wilbur's version of Margaritaville Jamaica Mistaica Wings www.TopSecretRecipes.com. It is our all time favorite wing recipe! They are some work but so good! The dipping sauce really makes this recipe. The recipe is for 10 wings, but you will have a lot of extra sauce (enough for 20 more wings)."

This is no where close to the way the wings taste at Margaritaville in Florida. It is way to sweet and taste like it is out of a regular bottle of BBQ sauce.

Buy an average barbeque sauce, will taste the same. Not even close to the real thing.

The wing sauce was WAAAYYY to tomato-ey. It was more like a pasta sauce than a wing sauce. It had great flavor, but became to much after the first two wings. The dipping sauce was great though, and I will use that again. Maybe next time no tomato paste.
