Allergy-friendly Orange Honey Barbecue Chicken Wings

Oh my goodness!  I think this is the best chicken I've made in a very long time!!  The sauce would make a great barbecue sauce for just about any meat.  Be sure and have lots of napkins handy!  Serves 8.


Allergy-friendly Orange Honey BBQ Chicken Wings


Cut the wing sections apart at the joints, discarding the tips, or saving them for stock.  Season well


~5 pounds chicken wings


With sea salt and Adobo seasoning, stirring them to distribute the seasonings evenly.  Let them rest about 5 minutes.  Then drizzle 


2 tablespoons cooking oil 


over the wings and stir them well to coat.  


Line a large baking dish (11"x17"x3") with foil and coat it with 2 tablespoons cooking oil.  Alternatively, use two smaller baking pans lined with foil.


Dredge the wing sections in 


1 cup flour mix or a combination of cornstarch and corn meal


and place them into a the foil lined pan.  Bake them at 350F for about 30 to 40 minutes, or until they are no longer obviously pink -- about 1/2 way cooked.


While the wing sections are cooking, prepare the sauce.


Orange Honey Sauce


1 - 12 ounce can orange juice concentrate
1/3 cup honey*
1/3 cup agave nectar*
2 tablespoons sorghum molasses**
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
2 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon black pepper


Pour the sauce over the wings and continue to bake them at 350F for another 35 minutes, or until they are done at 180F internal temperature.




*to measure honey or other sticky things, put a little cooking oil into the measuring cup and pour out the excess.  Then the honey won't stick to the cup and it will be much easier to clean up.


**if sorghum molasses isn't available, just use extra honey
