Barbecued Bat Wings
INGREDIENTS
4 pounds chicken wings
2 cups ketchup
1 1/2 cups molasses
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
Hot sauce to taste
Salt
Black pepper
Black paste food coloring
Blue paste food coloring
Green paste food coloring
Make: 8 servings.
PREPARATION
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Boil the chicken wings for
twenty minutes in a large pot.
2. While the wings are cooking, prepare
the sauce. Whisk together the ketchup, molasses, vinegar, Worcestershire
sauce, sugar, hot sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth in a
large roasting pan. Add enough black, blue, and green food colorings
to the sauce to make a dark black sauce. Place the pan in the
oven and bake for 10 minutes, stirring once.
3. Drain the wings well and add them to
the sauce and toss to coat evenly, poking the wings liberally
with a fork.
4. Bake for 20 minutes, then increase the
temperature to 450°F. Toss the wings in the sauce again
to coat evenly. Bake until the sauce is thickened and slightly
blackened, flipping the wings over occasionally, about another
15 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.
