wing essentials: chicken wings with mustard sauce

I must love chicken wings because I’ve posted about 5 different recipes for those tasty bites. This one bakes the wings, and uses a South Carolina mustard sauce for dipping. In this recipe, the wings are baked with just a minimum of spices. I did this to enhance the taste experience between the sauce and the wings. In addition, I’m using a high-heat baking method, to insure a nice crispy wing. If my house guests are any indicator of how good these are… there wasn’t a single wing left. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
