POPCORN POPPING...
It is still cold and dreary in my neck of the woods. Then a got a surprise as I was driving to work yesterday. I saw an apricot tree in full bloom. It took my breath away. They are the first to "pop" each year and it is a real sign of Spring. What a thrill.
Apricot Chicken Wings
3lbs chicken wings1 1/2 c. apricot preserves
3 TBS vinegar
2 tsp. hot sauce
1 tsp chili powder
1 glove garlic minced
Put your chicken wings in a deep pan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Remove immediately, drain and arrange the wings on a cookie sheet.
In a mixing bowl combine all of the ingredients for the sauce. Pour over the chicken and toss. Cover with foil and marinate overnight. Bake in a 300 degree oven, tossing the wings about every 20 minutes. Cook slowly until the sauce and the wings become caramelized. About 2 hours. Serve with celery.
