Honey Dijon Wings

April 29, 1996
40-50 Wings

10 pounds fresh or frozen chicken wings, thawed, if frozen
1/3 cup hot pepper sauce
1 cup Dijon-style mustard or other prepared mustard
1 1/2 cups honey

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Split the wings at each joint and discard the tips; rinse, then pat dry. Place the wings on cookie sheets and bake for 30 minutes. Turn the wings and bake for 30 more minutes, until brown. Drain well and place in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, combine the remaining ingredients. Mix well, then heat the mixture over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the honey melts. Remove from the heat and toss with the cooked chicken wings. Serve immediately or keep warm until ready to use.

NOTE: If you want to make these a bit hotter, add an additional 1/3 cup hot pepper sauce. Know what's really great about these? You can bake the plain wings ahead of time and store them in the fridge or freezer; then, before serving, simply warm them in the oven and toss them with the sauce. It couldn't be easier!
