Chicken Wings with Cranberry-Molasses Glaze


I know what you’re thinking – cranberry sauce with molasses?! Don’t knock it before you try it, lol. After all, molasses is used for basting meat anyhow, so I thought, why not? Furthermore, I was out of barbecue sauce and wanted something to glaze my wings with. I mixed a concoction of cranberry sauce, molasses and brown sugar; go easy on the molasses, because the stuff could be overpowering. Depending on the amount of wings you’re preparing, here’s what you will need:

Ingredients:
  • 2 lbs wings (sectioned)
  • 2 tbsp cranberry sauce
  • 1 tsp unsulfured molasses
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar


Directions:
  1. Season wings with salt, black pepper and onion powder.
  2. Bake for about 45 minutes.
  3. Baste wings, then throw off excess fat.
  4. Blend the ingredients for glaze in a bowl and microwave for about 30 seconds.
  5. Brush glaze on wings and allow to bake for an additional 15 – 20 minutes.


Hope you enjoy!!
