La What Now?


Since the 1960s, baseball teams and players have been publishing cookbooks. I collect them and try out some of the recipes that major leaguers have shared with their fans over the years. Photos, recipes and comments included.

Barbecue Chicken Wings by Wade Boggs - from "Fowl Tips: My Favorite Chicken Recipes" (1984)



RECIPE

2 lbs. chicken wings
1 bottle (18 oz) prepared barbecue sauce
1 cup honey
4 tbsp. butter

Preheat oven to 300.

Melt butter in skillet, brown wings on both sides. Drain on paper towel. Combine barbecue sauce and honey in deep mixing bowl using a whisk or fork. Dip each chicken wing into barbecue-honey mixture. Place wings in baking pan. Cover. Warm in 300 degree oven for at least one hour or until ready to serve.











I wrangled a copy of Wade Boggs' Fowl Tips years ago and have been working my way through his single-minded compilation of chicken recipes.  Here is the first of many that I'll be posting, with more to come.  

They say baking is better than deep frying - in fact, most things are better than deep frying - so here's a simple procedure for baked chicken wings.

This is more of a technique than a recipe, but a good way to use up some leftover barbecue sauce you have kicking around.  The honey and butter bring some sweet without any heat.  If you want to spice it up, or add another flavour note like smokey or garlicky, go ahead and use your own sauce of choice, or splash in some hot sauce, whatever.  The foundation for baked chicken wings is here, you can make it your own thing and enjoy with minimal effort.
