Goodness, you guys….life! Life is getting in the way! I have found myself having trouble getting 3 blog posts up a week due to our upcoming move. I mean, it’s still a month away, but there is so much going on.
Like 4 kids- they never stop ya know?
And we are currently renting, but the owners have decided to sell the house and they have schedule people to come look at it and I feel so obligated to make it look nice. So in the midst of the chaos of moving out, I am tying to keep it presentable and clean at the same time. NOT easy!
UPDATE!: since I wrote those words, I got a call from a realtor who was planning on showing the house (for the first time). She said that there was already an offer in on the house! It had been on the market for 6 days and it was sold sight unseen. She ended up showing it anyway but I did get confirmation over the weekend that it did sell and that the they were going to come inspect it this week. Happy dance- now I can be messy again!
Apart from that news, it seems like our weekends are booked until we leave- we had a work party this weekend, along with dinner with friends, next weekend is my hubby’s birthday and Memorial Day weekend, the following weekend I am going to Indulge Conference, a new food blogging conference taking place in Portland! I am super excited about it, but as you can see it’s just a mad rush from here on out.
But let’s talk about food.
When my mom came to visit she made us these chicken wings. I had a package of the wing/drumettes on hand and I wasn’t sure how I wanted to prepare them (buffalo style is always a win for me and my hubby but not the kids). So my mom made this simple recipe that she makes for my nephews. Boy were they a hit. The kids raved, devoured….and asked for them again and again.
Fast forward me making these a million more times for the kids…yes they love them that much! I figured I should blog them because anything that the kids love it worth making again. Even my daughter, who is not much of a meat/chicken eater, absolutely loved these.
So in the process of making these over and over, I figured out a couple things 1) my kids love these because they aren’t swimming in barbecue sauce. I would almost say they are on the bland side, but that makes them good for dipping. 2) these are going to appear very blackened in spots if you don’t use a baking rack and it’s not because they are burned. Trust me. It’s just the sauce that has caramelized. It does not taste burned! 3) Little wings and drumettes are perfect for little kids! Why have I not been making these for my kids until now?
I can’t even tell you the obsession that my kids have for these. Thanks mom!
- 1½-2 pounds chicken wingettes and drummettes (these are the small "party size" ones; do not sub with regular size wings and drumsticks as the cooking time will not be the same)
- ½ cup good quality barbecue sauce, like Stubb's
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon lemon pepper
- Add wings, sauce and spices to a large food ziplock bag. Let it marinate for 30+ minutes if possible. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with foil, place a baking rack on top. Spray well with cooking spray. Place wings on rack. Bake wings for 20 minutes, flip wings and turn up heat to 425 degrees for 20 more minutes. Remove from oven, brush with additional sauce.
The baking rack is definitely easier method.

Seriously, once I realized you could bake wings, pour Frank’s Red Sauce over them and they’d taste just like restaurant wings, I haven’t been able to stop! Ha 😉
I’ve never seen BBQ wings baked! They look amazing – no wonder your kids are asking for them over and over again!! Good luck with all the craziness going on and have fun at the Indulge conference – it looks amazing!
Thanks Jessica! It does look like a really fun conference. I am excited!
Those wings look delicious!

Yup, pretty much all we buy!
Omg, those look so delicious! When I used to live with my parents they would rent some of the houses we lived in and the most annoying part was when the owners decided they wanted to sell instead of renting leaving us having to scramble to get everything moved out on time!

Thank you! It definitely is not fun, but at least they waited until we gave our notice before selling!
Oh these look so good! I have been craving Bbq for weeks!!!

Thanks Cheyenne!
As my 19 month old daughter would say, “YUMMAYYY”
I’ve seen Stubbs sauce at the store but never tried it. It seems it is a hit with you and yours so I will be picking up a bottle this week and give it ago. I believe I have frozen raw wings in the freezer!
Thank you for this recipe!

These look scrumptious!
Thank you!
