I tried these last Sunday and WOW, these are great. I used Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce and added just as the recipe says and BAM best wings I've ever had. Thanks! BTW I used apple juice instead of pomegranate because that's what I had on hand. It worked out awesome.

This recipe is amazing. I had to make them two nights in a row because my husband loved them! They only changes I made was cutting the salt in half, using less chili flakes and omitting the butter. The sauce was still good without it
