When I took these savory, slow-cooked appetizers to work, they were gone before I even got a bite!  Spicy ketchup, vinegar, molasses and honey blend together in a tangy sauce that makes the wings lip-smacking good.

I came up with this recipe when I got tired of the same old wings.  These are baked with onion and garlic, then broiled and basted with a mixture of raspberry jam, barbecue sauce and jalapeno peppers.  The sauce is also excellent on pork and is great for dipping.
