Instructions

  • In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the sauce, stir well to combine, taste for salt and divide into three small bowls.
  • In another bowl, add the wings and lightly season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Add 1/3 of the sauce and toss to coat drumettes evenly. Cover and marinate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
  • Once wings have marinated, preheat oven to 450ºF. Line a cookie sheet with foil paper and spread the drumettes out onto it.
