Spicy Chicken Wings with Honey Mustard Jalapeno Sauce


Spicy Chicken Wings with Honey Mustard Jalapeno Sauce














I can’t think of anything more deserving of this delicious Jalapeno Sauce than chicken wings. The flavors of sweet and spicy combine to make these wings extraordinary.

 12 jalapeno peppers, stems removed
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 Tbsp. water
1/2 cup honey
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 cups Dijon mustard
3/4 tsp. turmeric
10 whole chicken wings, tips removed
Place jalapenos in saucepan and add enough water to just cover peppers. Bring to boil over medium-high heat and continue boiling for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
Remove jalapenos from saucepan, reserving liquid. Add both sugars to liquid and return pan to heat. Bring mixture to boil, stirring to dissolve sugars. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Place jalapenos, sugar mixture, honey, vinegar, mustard and turmeric in blender or food processor. Blend until all ingredients are pureed.
Place chicken wings in large bowl and pour 1/2 cup pureed jalapeno mixture over wings, reserving remaining puree for dipping sauce.
Preheat oven to 400°. Place wings on lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown, turning several times during cooking.
Serve with dipping sauce on the side.
