Gangsta! Guava BBQ Chicken Wings

My wife wasn't a big fan of Guava when I first met her. She had tasted some Guava Sherbet years ago that totally turned her off. After we were married, I made Guava and cream cheese Empanadas. She has been sold on Guava ever since. She even purchased a Guava tree for our home this past spring - maybe she has gone overboard? As a treat to my wife and family, I make a Guava BBQ sauce to use on our chicken wings. Of course it's a hit! I am the Gangsta in Da Kitchen after all.



Ingredients for quick sauce:
Jack Daniels barbeque sauce or your favorite barbeque sauce
1 cup of Guava paste in a jar or ½ a block of Guava paste
Zest of an orange
Zest of Lime

Chicken Wings

In a medium sauce pan, add the whole bottle of barbecue sauce, along with all of the other sauce ingredients for 10 to 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350

Place the chicken wings on a baking pan and place in the oven.
After 10 minutes start basting the chicken wings.
Continue to baste every ten minutes.
The wings will need to cook for at least 40 minutes

Alternative use for Guava BBQ sauce:
Use this sauce to baste a whole turkey. If you're going to bake a 20 or more pound turkey you could start basting the turkey after the first 45 minutes and baste every 15 minutes until the turkey is cooked completely.


What are some ways you have used my version of Guava BBQ sauce?
