The holiday season is almost here! I’m hauling out my Christmas decorations over the weekend for my favourite season of all.  I can’t get enough of the beautiful décor, cheerful music and of course, great food.

Today I’m sharing with you my favourite chicken wing recipe for serving family and friends as an appetizer.

These wings are a little bit sweet with a touch of sweet. They are basically guaranteed to fly off plate at any party you serve these Honey Chipotle Chicken Wings at.

 

 

It’s important to me that the chicken we buy is Canadian raised and the best way to insure of that is to look for the Raised By a Canadian Farmer logo in stores/on products when shopping for your favourite cuts of chicken.  What it means is that the chicken is fresh, safe and high quality – raised to the highest standards by Canadian farmers. It also means they are raised free of hormones and steroids, and under Canada’s highly regulated chicken industry.
