This Recipe Makes ± 18 BBQ Chicken Wings

BBQ Chicken Wings is the ultimate snack that is easily prepared in minutes. If you’re a lover of chicken wings then you’re going to love this recipe.

It can be served as a starter, a snack, a side or even as a meal with some fries (chips). Having movie night soon? This is the ideal snack to have everyone wanting more.

Most people choose to grill their chicken wings in the oven, but I ain’t one of them. I love my wings crisp & juicy at the same time so I ditch the oven & do it old school by frying them. Although it would be a healthier option to grill them, but whose dieting here? Chicken wings were meant for the fryer.
