Just In Time For
Fill-In-The-Blank Ball

Last night was supposed to be Game 6 of the World Series, but it got rained out. We are happy here in Okie Land, though, because evidently, St. Louis sent us that rain!! All night long. It was wonderful. It smells so good outside and it is very cool. Finally, plenty of wet stuff. It’s about time!!

Of course, this is the time for all things football too and we Okies put aside everything for Saturday OU or OSU games. Got appendicitis? Tough beans. You’ll just have to wait until the game is over. No doctors available. And when OU faces OSU? Oh my. It’s the Hatfields and the McCoys, however, my son-in-law, an OSU Cowboy, graciously defers to my daughter, the OU Sooner, because he likes his teeth with which to eat.

And speaking of eating, here’s a really quick and easy way to have your wings and eat them too, while glued to the television, watching those ball games. It’s something I do for Mr. Fix-It that’s quick and doesn’t need babying. They are tender and yummy and messy to eat!! The same thing can be done with strips of chicken breast for “boneless wings”.

Quick BBQ Chicken Wings

For 12 wing parts – Using fresh wings, divide at the two joints and use the drumstick and forearm portions. Use the pointed wing end for chicken stock. These wing portions can be purchased this frozen as well.

12 wing portions
1/2 cup of your favorite smoked bbq sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp thyme
(for more wing parts, just double or triple the recipe)

Printable Recipe

Place wings into a plastic dish that has a lid and add bbq sauce. I am using Head Country sauce which is produced right here in Ponca City, OK.

Next, add honey. Hint: Rinse measuring cup with warm water (do not dry) and then pour in honey. The honey comes out of the measuring cup easier.

Add 1/2 tsp garlic powder

And 1/4 tsp thyme

Snap on the lid and shake until all of the pieces are covered with the sauce mixture.

Place the chicken onto a greased baking sheet and spoon about half of the leftover sauce mix over the pieces. Bake at 350º for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and spoon rest of the mixture onto the pieces and return to the oven to bake for 15 to 20 more minutes until brown and tender.
