• Brown Sugar - I really don't like the taste of brown sugar so I skipped it. But if you love the caramelization that brown sugar brings to the wings then feel free to go with it.
• Hot Sauce - If you don't like BBQ Sauce you can make my Homemade Hot Sauce or use Frank's Wings Hot sauce.
• Paprika - If you find the sauce too sweet then you can add 1 teaspoon paprika.
• Garlic Powder - If you love the taste of Garlic Powder in your wings, you can use that for your Halloween bat wings.

What is bat wings made of?

Unlike what anyone would think when they first hear the term - "bat wings," they have got nothing to do with actual bats. In fact, these are bone-in chicken wings that are coated in a sweet and savory Asian glaze.

The Asian glaze adds a mild heat and a sweet as well as a tangy touch to the wings.

Can I skip black color?

Yes. If you find the black color really creepy on food just like I did, you may decide to skip it altogether.

You can bake chicken wings with the sweet and sour Asian glaze.
