BBQ Drumettes

I prefer the drummette version of the wing, since it has the meaty portion there. I use a homemade rub for the my wings.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon  sweet paprika
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
2 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp ground fresh black pepper
1/2 tsp celery seed
2 packages(about 12) chicken drummettes

Preparation:
lace first five ingredients in a large zip lock bag and shake vigorously to mix contents. Place drummettes in the bag and shake to cover doing one drummette at a time. Place drummettes on baking sheet that you have lightly sprayed with oil. Cook in 325 degree oven for 30 minutes. Using previous post for BBQ sauce, mop each drummette with sauce and cook 15 minutes more, turning drummettes every 5 minutes and repeat mopping with sauce.

Serve warm with ranch dressing, if desired.          

   

Root Beer BBQ Sauce

Since the Super Bowl is only ten days away, I thought I might share my barbecue sauce recipe and my chicken rub. This is a multistep process and takes some time.The barbecue sauce can simmer while you prepare the wings.

Ingredients: 
1 cup Heinz ketchup
1 cup root beer
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar packed (if your brown sugar is hard, put it in the microwave for one minute to soften)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder

Preparation:
Place all items in sauce pan, bring to a boil, and then simmer for 20 minutes.
