Baked Chinese Chicken Wings – chicken wings baked in a honey, Chinese 5-spice sauce with a touch of Whiskey to kick it up a touch.

Sometimes when you want to grill outside, it’s just TOO darn cold!!
I know, I know… “Lynne, honey, you’re living in upstate New Hampshire, pretty darn close to the Canadian border, how can you not expect it to be cold well into July?!” JULY?!?!!

Ok, no one’s said that to me actually, but I’m sure there are people thinking it. Maybe not the July part, but the suck-it-up-you’re-living-where-it-could-be-cold-for-quite-a-while-so-quit-your-whining type thinking. I really, REALLY want the weather to get warmer so we can fire up that baby and grill some steaks, pizzas and sticky ribs, and chicken! So when push comes to shove and it’s just too cold to do that, you fire up the oven inside. Well, preheat it anyway.

And this summer, when fingers get sticky from that awesome food you’ll be making on the grill or even in your kitchen, be sure to have one or two containers of Wet-Nap within reach! I found them at our local Walmart in the aisle with the paper goods and and purchased them because of their everyday low prices. You’re going to be VERY happy you can just pull one of those out of the container right there at the table or on your picnic and not have to worry about running to a faucet to rinse your hands off. And you KNOW that one of those dry napkins is just going to smear the yumminess all over your hands and just make matters worse, so save your self the trouble and pick some up, so you have them.

Oh, and guess what??!! Wet-Nap is having a Most Original Mess Contest that YOU can enter!! All you have to do is upload a photo of your messy kids and then share the photo link through your social media. The photo with the most votes will win a $1,000 gift card to Walmart and a year’s supply of Wet-Nap products!! Voting closes on June 16, so get those kids messy and upload that photo!!

I rate everything I make on a scale of 1-4 with 4 being the best and these Baked Chinese Chicken Wings earned 2 rolling pins.
Um, yeah, so the family requested that I not make these again. I think part or a major part of the problem is that throughout the years I’ve spoiled them with entirely eating dishes made only with the breasts of chicken, no bones, no dark meat.
My family has been sheltered and I attempted to pull them from the shelter and had little success.

Come to think of it, we rarely ever eat fried chicken or that sort of stuff when we go out to eat. No KFC for this family. So, as always, I leave it up to you if you want to make this dish.

The recipe may not have been the best I’ve ever made, but those Wet-Nap Hand Wipes turned out to be the best part of the dinner because it removed the chicken quite nicely from our hands. And remember, you win because you can use the coupon!

I give you BIG baking hugs and muffins!!
