How to Make Barbecued Bat Wings
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large pot, boil 2 lbs of chicken wings for 20 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
- While wings boil, prepare the BBQ sauce in a large roasting pan:
- Whisk together: 1 cup ketchup, 1/2 cup molasses, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon hot sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until smooth.
- Add a few drops of black, blue, and green food coloring to achieve a dark, almost black sauce. (Start with a few drops and add more to reach desired color).
- Place the roasting pan in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- Add the drained chicken wings to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly. Use a fork to poke holes in the wings, allowing the sauce to penetrate.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 350°F (175°C).
- Increase oven temperature to 450°F (230°C).
- Toss the wings again to coat, ensuring even distribution of sauce.
- Bake for another 15-20 minutes, flipping the wings occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and slightly blackened.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
