Blueberry BBQ Paleo Chicken Wings

When I think of watching the Super Bowl, I think of one thing....FOOD!  More specifically, chicken wings.  I knew that we were going to be indulging in several dips and sweets, so I wanted to at least try to lighten up some of the dishes, without missing out on any of the flavor.

These chicken wings do not disappoint.  Baked, not fried, these wings won't leave you in a food coma.  And the paleo blueberry BBQ sauce is delicious, without all the added junk in your normal bottled sauce.

Season chicken wings with salt and pepper and bake at 375 for 40-45 minutes, carefully flipping once while cooking.
Meanwhile, melt coconut oil in a medium pot and saute onions until translucent (about 8 minutes)

Add lemon juice, chicken broth, honey, and tomato paste and stir together until smooth.
Add blueberries and remove from heat.
Pour into blender and blend until smooth.
Put sauce back over medium low heat, cover slightly with lid (it splatters!) and allow to simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
