Everyone is always looking for something that is fast to make and still be healthy to drink.This recipe is really easy to make as well as good for you as well.

Baked Buffalo Wings

Everyone loves chicken wings and everyone loves Buffalo Wings. To me, this is the best way to make Buffalo Wings plus its a lot healthier. Instead of frying the chicken wings first it is completely cooked in the oven. It also has less sodium as well. You can always add more red pepper sauce to suit your needs of how hot you want it to be. Buffalo wings can be served with either Ranch Dressing or Blue Cheese Dressing. I like to eat mine just the way it is.

Ingredients

2 lb chicken wing drummettes (about 24)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons ketchup
2 tablespoons red pepper sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Paprika
Celery sticks, if desired


Directions

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil. Remove skin from chicken.
2. In resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix honey, ketchup, pepper sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Add chicken. Seal bag; refrigerate at least 15 minutes but no longer than 24 hours, turning occasionally.
3. Place chicken in pan; sprinkle with paprika. Bake uncovered about 30 minutes or until crisp and juice of chicken is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.
