Best Ever Barbecue Chicken Wings

• 3 pounds whole chicken wings


• 2 cups ketchup


• 1/2 cup honey


• 2 tablespoons lemon juice


• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil


• 2 tablespoons soy sauce


• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce


• 1 tablespoon paprika


• 4 garlic cloves, minced


• 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder


• 1/2 teaspoon pepper


• 1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

1. Cut chicken wings into three sections; discard wing tips. Place wings in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 35-40 minutes or until juices run clear.


2. In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour 1/2 cup into a 3-qt. slow cooker. Drain chicken wings; add to slow cooker. Drizzle with remaining sauce. Cover and cook on low for 1 hour, basting occasionally.

** 3 pounds of uncooked chicken wing sections (wingettes) may be substituted for the whole chicken wings. Omit the first step.
*** My Hubby likes his wings crispy so sometimes I coat them lightly with flour then deep fry until crispy, and make the sauce in a sauce pan and lightly coat wings just before serving
