These are a must have at any football gathering or tailgating party. The wings are super moist and the convenience of throwing them in the oven still frozen really is a timesaver. The glaze is sweet and spicy and together these wings are oh-so satisfying. If you like less spice, just cut back on the red pepper flakes. This is one of my favorite recipes that all ages enjoy. (Be warned, I've had teenagers hide them in zip lock bags to eat later, as they get gobbled up so fast). Save some of the glaze to serve with these wings.
