Poultry Essentials: Apricot Sticky Wings image

I love using preserves when making things like wings. You can use most any kind, and then add a few other bits-and-bobs until you get the flavors where you want them. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Number Of Ingredients 13

PLAN/PURCHASE
12 or more chicken wings
THE BRAISE
1/2 cup(s) apricot preserves
1/2 cup(s) tamari sauce, or liquid aminos
1/2 cup(s) coconut sugar
1/4 cup(s) fresh lime juice
3 clove(s) garlic, minced
ADDITIONAL ITEMS
red pepper flakes, to taste
toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
lots of napkins
beer

Steps:

  • PREP/PREPARE
  • I like making these in an ovenproof skillet; however, when I am doing large batches, I defer to baking pans lined with parchment paper.
  • Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • Place a rack in the bottom position and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
  • Add the braise ingredients to the skillet and whisk to combine.
  • If your apricot preserves are really chunky, you might want to throw the ingredients into a blender and give it a few one-second pulses.
  • Add the chicken and sauce into the skillet, toss to combine, and throw in some red-pepper flakes, if using.
  • Add to preheated oven and bake until the wings are cooked through and the sauce is thick and gooey, about 60 - 90 minutes.
  • Every 10 - 15 minutes, open the oven, and give the wings a stir.
  • The sauce can go from yummy to burned in a matter of a few minutes, so keep a good eye on the oven... both eyes, if you can spare them.
  • PLATE/PRESENT
  • Put the wings in a bowl or platter and sprinkle with some sesame seeds. Enjoy.
  • Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
