Stubb’s Crispy Hot Wings
Ingredients
2.5 lb party chicken wings (use a large frozen bag)
2 tbsp butter, melted
1/4 cup Stubb’s Beef Marinade
Ingredients (for the glaze)
1/2 cup Stubb’s Original Bar-B-Q Sauce
1 1/2 tbsp Stubb’s Beef Marinade
1 tbsp water + 1 tsp cornstarch
Directions
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Line large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat wings dry with paper towel and lay them on baking sheet.
Brush surfaces of wings with Stubb’s Beef Marinade and then melted butter.
Place into oven and roast for about 40-45 minutes or until the skins of the wings reach desired crispness. Check on the wings at about 30 minutes, you may need to rotate the tray to ensure even roasting.
About 10 minutes before the wings are done, prepare the glaze. Combine Stubb’s Original Bar-B-Q Sauce and Stubb’s Beef Marinade into a small saucepan. In a separate bowl, add water and cornstarch and mix until cornstarch is completely dissolved. Pour mixture into saucepan. Turn stove on to low heat and bring sauce to a boil. Stir constantly and let the sauce continue to simmer until it thickens.
Remove wings from oven and brush the wings with the glaze. Eat immediately to preserve wing crispness.
