It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s!

Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. Every Friday, I share a recipe that I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe from my own kitchen or a guest author’s favorite. It could be a cookie or a baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes the eye and fancy…which today is SWEET & SPICY CHICKEN WINGS from Karen’s Kitchen!!

Who doesn’t love wings? There are so many variations out there that don’t require flaming mouth syndrome. I can’t do that anymore. So when I find a recipe that makes savory chicken without requiring a fire retardant suit, I’m in! This recipe is making my mouth water as I type it. It’s THAT good. Make it for the family meal or the next party. Either way, you probably need to double the batch so you have enough. Who needs portion control anyway?

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

SWEET & SPICY CHICKEN WINGS 
(Recipe From Karen’s Kitchen)
[Makes 8 Servings]

2-1/2 lbs. chicken wings*
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
5 T. plum sauce
2 T. soy sauce**
2 T. honey
1 T. fresh minced garlic
1 T fresh ginger
2 T. toasted sesame seeds

Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Cut the wings at the joints to separate into three pieces. Discard the wing tip.

In a large bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, plum sauce, soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. Mix well.

Coat the wings in nonstick cooking spray and place them on a greased broiler pan. Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown, brushing occasionally with the sauce. Before serving, toss the cooked wings in the bowl to soak up the extra sauce. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the wings and toss them again to coat all of the wings.

*If you find wings without the tips, you can save a bit of money. If you decide to use another cut of chicken, like the breast or thigh, be sure to cut them into approximately the same size as the wings so they cook evenly.

**Light soy sauce also works.

Happy Eating!
