These are great! Definitely in my top 5 foods that I have made. If you love hot honey bbq wings you will love these! I omitted the pomegranite juice and used half the amount of butter and they were still delicious!

My husband and I made these wings one night for friends. YUMMMMM!!! The sauce is sooo good!!! We now make the sauce for other chicken dishes too. I baked skinless boneless chicken thighs in the oven, tossed them in this sauce, then threw them on the grill to char them a little. It's now one of our favs!!!
