Spicy Honey Glazed Chicken Wings

Spicy Honey Glazed Chicken Wings

When I think about chicken wings, first thing come to mind is these golden brown, crispy and super delicious hot wings from Buffalo NY. Although there is a fried deliciousness to the authentic wings, I would still prefer the guilt free baked version of it. Sometimes over-frying takes away from the flavor and you're left with all crisp and no flavor. I had been looking for a good non-frying recipe for chicken wings and finally found one by Tim Wood@ food and wine. I have modified the original recipe to my taste, it came out so juicy, tender, spicy and full of flavor, just the way I like them.

 

Ingredients

 

4 pounds chicken wings

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly ground pepper

1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar

1 teaspoon crushed red pepper

1/2 cup honey

2 tablespoons soy sauce

½ tsp chili powder

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1-2 cloves minced garlic

 

Directions

 

1. Wash and clean the chicken wings to make sure there are no stray feathers. Cut wings into portions through the joints, discarding wingtips

2. Combine all the rest of the ingredients in a bowl. Add wings and coat in mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or overnight, stirring occasionally.

3. Preheat oven to 425 degree F. Cover a baking dish with aluminum foil. Drizzle it with some olive oil. Spread wings over the base, brush liberally with marinade. Roast for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Turn the wings half way through the baking. Serve warm or at room temperature
