From the Recipe Archives: EBONY’s Orange-Barbecued Chicken Wings

Your summer cookout spread isn’t complete without at least one chicken dish on the table. Of course, you can do just about anything with the protein: turn it into chicken salad, fry it, bake it, roast it and so much more.

Former EBONY food editor and author Charlotte Lyons decided that this orange-barbecued variation was the perfect addition to her table, so she added it to her already stacked lineup of dishes in her historic cookbook. Easy to make, you can add your own spin on the wings by whipping up a homemade barbecue sauce or even throwing in a little spice if you prefer some kick.

Below, check out Lyons’ recipe.
