These savory chicken wings are so lip smacking good and will be gone before halftime.

25 (5 pounds) whole chicken wings

2-1/2 cups hot and spicy ketchup

2/3 cup white vinegar

1/2 cup plus 5 tablespoons honey

1/2 cup molasses

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 to 1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Prepare two 15x10-inch baking pans with nonstick cooking spray.

Cut up the chicken wings into three sections. Discard the wing tips.

Place the chicken wings into the prepared baking pans. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes; drain. Turn the wings over and bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until chicken juices run clear.

Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, combine the ketchup, vinegar, honey, molasses, salt, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder and chili powder. Add in the Liquid Smoke, if desired. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes. Drain wings; place 1/3 of wings into a 5-quart slow cooker. Top with 1 cup of sauce. Repeat this two times with remaining wings and sauce.

Cover and cook on low heat for 3 to 4 hours. Stir before serving.
