Football season is upon us, and what better way to commemorate the start of Oklahoma's season than with Made in Oklahoma Coalition recipes.

The Made in Oklahoma Coalition recipes offer delicious dining ideas while promoting the brands manufactured in the state. For these unique recipes, M.I.O. has partnered five Oklahoma-based member companies to help prepare this family meal: Shawnee Mills, Andrew’s Honey Bees, Hiland Dairy, Seikel’s, and Suan’s.

Hot-Honey Chicken Wings

3 pounds fresh chicken wings
½ cup Andrew Honey Bees Cream Honey
¼ cup Hiland Unsalted Butter
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons Seikel’s Oklahoma Gold Old Style Mustard
¼ cup Suan’s Scotch Bonnet Pepper Jelly

1.    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2.    Rinse chicken wings. Pat dry, and place on a rimmed baking sheet or jelly roll pan lined with parchment paper.
3.    Combine remaining ingredients in small saucepan. Bring just to a boil, and then turn down heat to simmer for 5 minutes. Stir. Mixture should slightly thicken.
4.    Pour half of sauce over wings, tossing to coat. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, and turn wings. Bake an additional 15 minutes. If you like a crispy wing, turn on the broiler and broil just until crisp and golden brown, making sure not to burn.
5.    Once out of the oven, pour remaining sauce over wings to coat. Serve warm.

2.    Season with salt. Serve at room temperature or chilled with tortilla chips.

Cornbread Onion Rings

3 yellow onions sliced ½ inch thick
1 pkg Shawnee Mills Buttermilk Cornbread Mix
