Try these mouthwatering Molasses Glazed Chicken Wings for a quick and delicious meal. Ready in just 40 minutes!
My wife was in the mood for some chicken wings so I took the opportunity to make these Molasses Glazed Chicken Wings.
We both love the flavor of Molasses and since Brown Sugar is made with molasses, combining the two was a no-brainer.
Besides the delicious flavor of these wings, I especially like that they are ready in about 40 minutes! No need to wait for hours for the slow cooker to do its job.
