Roasted Red pepper dip & Hot and Sticky Wings

Like I said before... my camera blew up so this is the best I have of my amazing roasted red pepper garlic dip & fall-off the bone juicy Hot and Sticky Wings... (see pathetic picture way below) I also made Artichoke-spinach dip in the crock.

I had my best girlfriends in town for the break so I had a small get together with a fire in my newly swept fireplace, and some fabulous food!

Here is the beginning of the chicken wings... YES real tasty wings from scratch! and SO EASY!

Salt-n-pepper the chicken and broil for 10-12 mins Slice wings in half (into drum and wing) and cut off tip of wing and discard.
