  • 1 smoked turkey leg
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry and season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  3. Toss the wings with olive oil and arrange them on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Melt butter in a saucepan and stir in honey, barbecue sauce, and hot sauce to create the glaze.
  6. Coat the baked wings in the honey glaze before serving.
  7. Boil the potatoes in salted water for 12 to 15 minutes until fork-tender, then drain and cool slightly.
  8. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard, chopped eggs, celery, relish, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
  9. Fold the potatoes into the dressing mixture and chill for at least 1 hour.
  10. Sauté diced onion in olive oil until soft for the baked beans.
  11. Stir in baked beans, brown sugar, barbecue sauce, mustard, and smoked paprika.
  12. Transfer to a baking dish and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes until bubbly.
  13. Heat olive oil in a large pot and sauté onion and garlic until fragrant.
  14. Add smoked turkey leg and chicken broth, then bring to a boil.
  15. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  16. Add collard greens, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
  17. Simmer for 45 to 60 minutes until greens are tender.
  18. Remove turkey leg, shred the meat, and stir it back into the greens.
  19. Serve the honey-glazed wings with potato salad, baked beans, and collard greens.

Notes

  • For spicier wings, add cayenne pepper to the glaze.
  • Add a splash of liquid smoke to the baked beans for deeper smoky flavor.
  • Smoked chicken can be used instead of smoked turkey in the collard greens.
  • Mix a little apple cider vinegar into the potato salad for extra tanginess.
  • Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat wings in the oven at 375°F for crispier texture.
  • Potato salad should always be served chilled.
