CRANBERRY GLAZED STICKY CHICKEN WINGS



Cranberry Glazed Sticky Chicken Wings image

This surprising twist on sweet and sour wings is so good you'll be tempted to eat them right after glazing-but the final broil in the oven is worth it. If you want to turn up the spice meter, add some of your favorite hot sauce to the glaze.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 35m

Yield about 16 wings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pounds chicken wings
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 ounces frozen cranberries, thawed
1/2 cup Asian sweet chile sauce, such as Mae Ploy
3 scallions, chopped (save the greens from 1 scallion for garnish)

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler to high with an oven rack set about 4 inches from the heat source. Remove the tips of the wings and discard or save for making stock. Use kitchen shears or a knife to separate the wings at the joint.
  • Toss the chicken wings and vegetable oil on a baking sheet until well coated. Sprinkle with salt and a few grinds of pepper. Broil the wings until the skin starts to crisp and brown, about 12 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and flip the wings over. Broil the other side until crisp and golden brown, about 8 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, put the cranberries in a food processor and pulse until you have small pieces. Add them to a medium skillet with the sweet chili sauce and 3/4 cup water. Add all of the scallion whites and 2 of the scallion greens. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, about 3 minutes. Strain into a medium bowl, pressing to get as much liquid through as possible. Return the liquid to the skillet and simmer until thick and shiny, like a glaze.
  • Remove the wings and check for doneness; if a knife inserted into the meat closest to the bone is no longer pink, it's done. Toss the wings in the sauce bowl until well coated, return to the baking sheet and broil until the glaze turns shiny and the skin has blistered spots of char, 1 to 3 minutes. Check the wings every minute at this stage to ensure the glaze does not burn. If your glaze is not sticking as well as you would like, apply the glaze with a pastry brush.
  • Sprinkle the remaining scallion greens over the top of the wings. Serve while hot.

Provided by Nor Mac

Categories     Poultry Appetizers

Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 can(s) cranberry sauce, jellied
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 c orange juice (not fresh squeezed)
2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp honey
2 tsp garlic powder
1 clove garlic, grated or chopped
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp dried onion
4-10 Tbsp mild to medium using Texas Pete's Buffalo sauce. If using Franks hot sauce you must taste after additions. Hot sauce tends to be stronger than Buffalo sauce.
1 optional: jalapeno pepper chopped
3-4 lb chicken wings

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the slow cooker (Crock Pot) to high heat. Heat broiler in oven to high. Note: You will cook in Crock Pot on low for 2 hours or high at 1-2 hours.
  • 2. Cut the tips off of chicken wings. Discard tips of wings. Cut the joint in half. Wings should be in 2 pieces per wing to cook. Set aside.
  • 3. In Crock Pot, put the cranberry sauce in 1st. Chop up the sauce until it is very mashed looking. Add all ingredients to Crock Pot except for the chicken. Stir and combine ingredients.
  • 4. Foil line a baking sheet. Place chicken on a baking sheet and broil the chicken in the oven for about 15-20 minutes until browned nicely. Turn after 5-10 minutes. It also helps get rid of some of the grease in it.
  • 5. Remove from oven place wings in Crock Pot. Stir and toss in the sauce. Check and stir once during cooking. If you stir too much the wings will fall apart. Cover and cook for 1-2 hours on high. 2 hours on low. Check on them. Although they taste great falling off the bone, they are hard to eat with your hands. LOL
  • 6. Remove chicken from Crock Pot to baking sheet again. Pour some of the sauce over the wings from the pot. Place under broiler to brown and make the sauce stick. Discard remaining sauce in the pot, or save for dipping. Keep warm in clean Crock Pot uncovered. Let the party begin!
