Island Chicken Wings

Ingredients

• 8 chicken wings
• 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup golden raisins
• 2 tablespoons apricot preserves
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1 large banana, peeled and cut into chunks
• 1 tablespoon garlic oil

Instructions

1. Cut off wing tips; discard or save for other purposes. Cut remaining wings apart at joints to make 2 pieces each.
2. To make dipping sauce, in blender, combine chiles, onion, raisins, preserves, brown sugar, lemon juice, allspice and banana; puree.
3. In a large skillet, heat garlic oil. Cook wings for 18 to 20 minutes or until well-browned on all sides and internal juices of chicken run clear.
4. Meanwhile, pour sauce in small saucepan and cook uncovered over medium heat for 10 minutes to thicken liquid; stir frequently.
5. Sprinkle wings with salt and pepper. Serve with dipping sauce.

Notes

For additional flavor, marinate chicken wings in Italian dressing and then grill or broil. Serve with dipping sauce.
