I had these made for me during a 4th of July get together, and believe me, everyone was racing to get these wings! The teenagers were "hiding" some in ziplock bags for later just in case there were no leftovers! These are really, really good, they just fell off the bone and had a wonderful flavour. I will be adding this to my favourites! :) (and lucky the teens hid some wings, there were NO leftovers!;))

Had this for a summer barbeque for a big group of friends during the 4th of July holiday--Delicious! We served everyone buffet style and the wings were gobbled up. I liked the fact that the sauce was the perfect flavor and didn't leave my fingers too messy.

I made these for my family for dinner tongiht ad they gobbled up the entire batch! There are 2 adults, 1 teen and 1 toddler! I am planning to make them for a party we are attending in less than a week as well! DH couldn't say enough great things as he grabbed another one - which is exactly what I was looking for!
