Pot Luck: BBQ Chicken Wings & Drumsticks

Whew. Its been a few weeks. I graduated, started a full-time job, and even bought insurance and a box spring like a true adult. Whose life is this?

At least I'm still cooking-- maybe just haven't had so much time to tell you about it! This post is actually some tasty eats from about a month ago. Some friends of mine had a pot luck, and I made my first BBQ sauce and made baked chicken with it. De. licious. This sauce was so tangy and so good (recipe also read that it can be frozen). Enjoy!

Sauce:
2 cups of ketchup
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
Juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons unsulfured molasses
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chili powder (depending on how spicy you like it!)
1/4 cup (packed) brown sugar
3-4 minced garlic cloves
2 teaspoons paprika
salt & pepper to taste

-Combine all the sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan, cooking over medium low heat and stirring occasionally. Do this for about 10-12 minutes until heated through and thick. Do not boil. Strain the sauce to remove garlic and cool to room temperature (makes about 3 cups).

Preheat your oven to 350 F and coat the chicken wings/drumsticks in a large bowl in half of the sauce. Lay chicken in a single layer-- with space to breath. Bake and continuously brush over with sauce for 45-50 minutes. Any extra sauce can be used for dipping/pouring over. So. Yum. Thanks Epicurious App!
