My husband loves chicken wings and would probably eat them 5 days a week if I made them. They’re one of his favorite foods! He doesn’t care if they’re made on the barbecue grill, in the oven, the deep fryer or prepared in our air fryer. While I like mine juicy and sweet…he likes his with a fiery heat.
The recipe that I’m sharing with you can be adjusted to suit your own taste bud preferences. Mix up the sauce ingredients and do a little taste-test before you toss in the wings. If you need more heat…add additional hot sauce. If you would like it a little sweeter…add additional brown sugar.

I have not made chicken wings in a long time. This is a recipe I want to try soon.
I just made chicken wings for the first time in many years. Used Rays BBQ sauce and did them in the oven. They were delicious.
I have not had these in so many years. I got hungry just looking at the picture and reading the recipe guess that means I am going to have to try these out at home and soon thanks for sharing.
These look and sound really good. I have never thought of adding to a BBQ sauce. Thanks for the easy idea!
I like them a little sweet, too. I like a little heat, but I don’t want food to hurt, lol.
We love Sweet Baby Rays Sauce. We use it all the time on all sorts of dishes. We love wings too. Thank you for the recipe.
I’d eat that! This looks like a great BBQ sauce. Thanks.
