"These spicy barbecue wings are so easy to make," remarks Joan Rose of Langley, British Columbia. "I fix a double batch since my family thinks they're great. You should see them disappear!"

I've been making this recipe for years and there is no better sauce in the world! I love how when you smell the sauce cooking it almost burns your nose hairs and then when you taste it it's more sweet and tangy than crazy spicy. I've tried using the sauce on boneless skinless chicken, but it is just not the same, so stick with the real deal.

I've made this several times, veganizing it by using browned seitan in place of the chicken wings and it's fantastic. You could also use veggie "chicken" nuggets, though I haven't tried it yet. I'm sure it would work out well.

My husband loves these. I prefer to dip each wing in the sauce both times for better coverage, rather than brush it on. Thanks!

These were really tasty -enough spice to give a kick, but not overwhelming. Only issue I had was sticking to the pan, even though I sprayed the pan with Pam. Next time I'll grease more heavily.

I added hot sauce as well as all the other stuff. Very good!

My husband really likes these. Rather than brushing with the sauce, I prefer to dip them. It's a little more work, but I found more sauce adheres that way.
