Time 4h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

18 chicken wings
1 cup/250ml honey
1 cup/250ml brown sugar
1 cup/250ml balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons/30ml peeled and grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Remove the tips from the wings by cutting between the joints. Transfer the wings to a large resealable plastic bag.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect balance of flavors, use a good quality balsamic vinegar. A thick, syrupy vinegar will provide the best glaze for your chicken wings.
  • If you don't have brown sugar, you can substitute an equal amount of granulated sugar or honey.
  • Be sure to cook the chicken wings until they are cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken wings will be tough and dry.
  • If you like your chicken wings extra crispy, you can cook them for a few extra minutes in the oven.
  • Serve the chicken wings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard are all great options.

Conclusion:

Spicy Balsamic Glazed Chicken Wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a Super Bowl party. With their sweet and spicy glaze, these chicken wings are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
