Flip the chicken again and brush the skin with the jelly mixture. Continue cooking, brushing the skin every 10 minutes with the jelly mixture, reserving some for serving, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thigh but not touching the bone registers 165 degrees F, about 20 minutes more.

RASPBERRY JALAPENO CHICKEN WINGS. SWEET & SPICY LIKE ANTONIO BANDERAS RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F. In a small saucepan on medium heat, place the seedless raspberry jam, honey and the small can of diced jalapenos. Stir to combine and let it sit in the saucepan on low to get all sticky, sweet and spicy. Just like Antonio. Take your large pot, and put in the half stick of butter and 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire Sauce and turn your stove up to just below high. Get that butter and Worcestershire all melted and hot. Once the butter is all melted, place just half (10) of your chicken drummies in the butter. I only do 10 at a time, cause you don't want them to get all crowded. With your tongs, get the chicken all coated with the butter. Leave them to saute for just about 5 minutes. You are not totally cooking them, just getting them warm and coating them with the butter mixture. Once they are all warm and coated, about 5 minutes, take the 10 drummies out and place them in a large bowl to hang out. Now take your other 10 drummies and with your tongs, place the last 10 in the pot with the butter and Worcestershire. Toss and do the same with those as you did the first 10. When those are done, place them in the large bowl with their other friends. Now take the raspberry jalapeno mixture off the stove, and pour all of it into the waiting drummies. Mix the drummies all around with the sauce. They are so excited to be sweet and spicy like Mr. Banderas. Now get out your jelly roll pan or 1/4 sheet pan, the one with sides, and spray it with Pam. Take your tongs and place the drummies in the pan. Take a large spoon, and gently pour all the raspberry jalapeno sauce over each of the drummies, coating them all the way. Now pop these sweeties in the oven for about 35 minutes. Keep checking them, cause you are going to flip them with your tongs halfway through. You'll know when they are done. Both sides will look wonderfully golden. The entire cooking process should be about 40 minutes. Could be 30 depending on your oven, so just keep checking. Next thing you know, you won't be calling them "little drummies" anymore. They will be all grown up, sweet and spicy just like their idol, Antonio Banderas (said in the most wonderful sultry Latin American accent of course). HINT: Be sure to let them sit for about 15 minutes before you dive into them. They are way better when left to get all sticky and wonderful for about 15 minutes or more before eating them. Note: I bought the little chicken drummies, but feel free to use both chicken drummies and chicken wings. After all, they ARE called chicken "wings". It's just a personal preference.
