Hurt em Hatten's Almost World Famous Wings

[mikedatiger]

Haven't been fishing much so I've been back in the kitchen to fill the time. Been making this wing recipe for years, and friends, family and neighbors now request em'. They were requested today so I obliged.

Marinade:

• Woody's Cook-in-Sauce
• Dale's
• LA Hot sauce
• Onion Powder
• Garlic Powder
• Slap Ya Mamma

Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl. After your wings are cut put them in a container that can be sealed and pour the marinade on top. It's best to let the wings marinate for several hours, turning the bowl to coat all the wings. The Woody's Sauce is a "secret" - basically a BBQ concentrate that can be cooked with. (makes killer hamburgers but don't tell anybody)

Get your smoker or pit going and put the wings on - make sure your fire is low and slow if on a pit!! While your wings are going, get the sauce ready…

Sauce:

• Butter (half stick or so)
• Peach Preserves (a decent amount)
• LA Hotsauce
• BBQ sauce of choice (I like Sweet Baby Ray's)
• Brown Sugar (as much as you want)
• Any other seasonings ya want (onion/garlic powder)

Let the sauce cook down to marry the flavors. The peach preserves will melt in, mellowing the heat.

I cook the wings until they are almost done, then take them off the pit/smoker and cover em' with the sauce. Finish them in the oven for 10 mins or so at 350. Take em out and serve em with your favorite dip, which is homemade ranch at our house. Then watch the bones fly.

This recipe makes for a nice combination of spice and sweetness, which IMO makes em turn out just right.

Hope you enjoy!
