For the Cherry BBQ Sauce:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
  • 1/2 cup ketchup

  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Wings:
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Season the chicken wings with salt and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil.

    • In a medium saucepan, combine the cherries, ketchup, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
    • Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
    • Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, until the cherries are soft and the sauce has thickened.
    • Use an immersion blender or a regular blender to blend the sauce until smooth. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
  3. Coat the Wings:
    • Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven.
    • Toss the wings in the cherry barbecue sauce until they are well coated.
  4. Serve:
