Bo’s Wings Two Ways

My 13 year old son and his buddies love these inexpensive and super easy wings. This is a monkey proof recipe that your humans are sure to gobble up by the dozen. My son even requested Wing Wednesday, the cooler cousin to Taco Tuesday. The secret to these are the simple two step cooking process; bake covered then broil uncovered. I serve these at barbecues, on game nights, and when I need to feed a group of carnivorous eighth grade boys.
   

Ingredients:

Wings by the dozen, depending on the size of your crowd. Your favorite bbq sauce. We like Sweet Baby Ray’s. Good quality teriyaki sauce. Garlic powder.
 

Choose your sauce, or make a dozen or two of each. The teriyaki were a huge hit this week! Wash and dry wings, removing any excess feathers (ew, no excuse). Place in a large ziploc bag. Add the sauce of your choice generously, then sprinkle in a good couple shakes of garlic powder or granulated garlic. Close the bag, then mush around and turn the bag over to evenly coat the wings. Let marinate for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350. Empty wings and marinade into a single layer in an aluminum pan, same side facing up. Cover tightly. Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover, baste, and flip wings over to bottom side facing up. Set oven to broil and broil UNCOVERED for a couple of minutes until wings start to get slightly charred. Watch carefully since broiling is very fast. Take pan out of oven, carefully flip the wings over to skin side up, baste again, then pop back under broiler until that side is well done and slightly charred too. If you like it more blackened like I do then leave an extra minute or so. I use tongs when handling the wings. This could not be easier and is hands down a middle school boy favorite!
