Ingredients for Barbecued Buzzard Wings

  • Chicken Wings
  • Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • Cinnamon
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Water
  • Light Brown Sugar
  • Mustard Powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste)
  • Onions
  • Garlic Clove
  • Horseradish
  • Soy Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

How to Make Barbecued Buzzard Wings

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup ketchup, ½ cup apple cider vinegar, ¼ cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons molasses, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste), and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently.
  2. Continue stirring until the molasses is fully dissolved and the sauce has slightly thickened (about 5-7 minutes). Set aside.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add chicken wings and boil for 7 minutes.
  4. Remove wings from boiling water, drain well, and pat completely dry with paper towels.
  5. Pour the barbecue sauce into a large bowl.
  6. Add the chicken wings to the bowl, ensuring each wing is thoroughly coated in the sauce.
  7. Arrange the coated wings in a single layer in a shallow baking dish.
  8. Pour any remaining sauce over the wings.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35 minutes, or until the wings are cooked through and the sauce is caramelized and slightly sticky.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
