The Big Game is coming up this weekend. What is your favorite Game Day Appetizer? Our Chef Callie is a Chicken Wing enthusiast, here is her favorite version.

Callie’s Favorite Chicken Wings

20 fresh chicken wings separated into drummies and wings

(If you buy frozen wings that’s fine just thaw and pat dry first)

1 cup Kikkoman soy sauce

3/4 cup honey

1 tsp black pepper

½ cup pineapple juice

2tbsp minced fresh garlic

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

3 tbsp Tabasco pepper sauce (or your favorite Hot Sauce)

3 tbsp softened butter

You can prepare these wings roasted or fried, I prefer fried of course, but for the sake of making messes for the home cook, we shall roast.

Place first five ingredients in mixing bowl and whisk together

Place Chicken wings in shallow dish and cover with the marinade

For best results let sit in marinade for at least two hours or up to overnight

After marinating remove the wings and place on wire rack over baking sheet and roast slow for about an hour in a preheated 325 degree oven

Frequently basting with marinade

When the wings are almost done put the remaining marinade on the stove in a sauce pan and reduce until it glazes a spoon

Whisk into the sauce the butter and the Tabasco

Place wings and one cup of sauce into mixing bowl and toss. Serve Immediately.

Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce

1 cup Mayo

1 cup Sour Cream

3 tbsp sliced Green onion

1 tsp black pepper

1 cup Blue Cheese crumbles

1 tbsp lemon juice

Puree ingredients in food Processor. Or, if you like chunky blue cheese dressing just whisk together ingredients in mixing bowl.
