My husband always calls this recipe "finger-licking good," and these BBQ wings really are to die for! The sauce is also great on chicken breasts. —Linda Gardner, Richmond, Virginia

Ingredients

1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup canola oil
3 teaspoons minced garlic
1-1/2 cups ketchup
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
WINGS:
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
30 frozen chicken wingettes, thawed

Directions

For barbecue sauce, in large saucepan, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the ketchup, vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, cayenne and cumin. Simmer, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat; stir in pepper sauce. Set aside 2/3 cup for serving.
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper; add chicken wings in batches and turn to coat.
Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil; using long-handled tongs, lightly coat the grill rack. Grill wings, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 12-16 minutes, turning occasionally. Brush with some of the barbecue sauce.
Grill, uncovered, 8-10 minutes longer or until juices run clear, basting and turning several times. Serve with reserved barbecue sauce.
