Cherry Cool Wings

Ingredients:

• 1 (4- or 5-pound) package frozen uncooked chicken wing sections
• 1 (20- or 21-ounce) can cherry pie filling
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (such as Frank’s Red Hot)
• 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke, optional

Line two 15x10x1-inch baking sheets with aluminum foil. Spray with non-stick spray. Place frozen chicken wing sections on pans. Bake, uncovered, in a pre-heated 375-degree oven 45 to 55 minutes, or until chicken is at 165F.

Meanwhile, put pie filling, ketchup, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce and liquid smoke in blender or food processor container. Cover and blend until smooth.

Remove pans from the oven. Spoon cherry sauce evenly over all sides of wing sections. Bakes 15 to 20 minutes, or until sauce is set.

Makes 12 appetizer servings (about 3 wing sections each); make 6 servings as a main course.

Note: For spicier wings, add more hot pepper sauce.
