Note: This recipe appears in the WW Family Meals Cookbook. This is a healthy take on your typical chicken wings. If you can't decide between sweet wings or spicy wings, make these wings. These wings are the perfect blend and balance of sweet and spicy. If you don't have wings, you can use the marinade for boneless, skinless chicken tenders and they will still be tasty. Serve these at your next game day party and your guests will be coming back for more.
