Caution: May require finger licking. Gooey chicken wings are sure to please a crowd, not to mention your wallet. The sweet and spicy glaze requires only five ingredients, including peach preserves (though apricot preserves work well, too).

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    35 min

  • Yield

    Makes 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

3 garlic cloves
1 (3-inch) piece peeled ginger, coarsely chopped
2/3 cup peach or apricot preserves or jam
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon hot red-pepper flakes
4 pounds chicken wings, tips removed if desired

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat broiler.

    Step 2

    With motor running, drop garlic into a food processor and finely chop. Add ginger and finely chop.

    Step 3

    Add preserves, soy sauce, water, and red-pepper flakes and pulse until sauce is combined.

    Step 4

    Line bottom and sides of a large 4-sided sheet pan with foil and lightly oil foil.

    Step 5

    Pat wings dry and put in sheet pan. Season with 3/4 teaspoon salt. Pour sauce over wings and toss to coat, then spread in 1 layer.

    Step 6

    Broil wings 4 to 6 inches from heat 5 minutes, then turn over and baste with sauce from pan. Continue to broil, rotating pan and turning and basting 3 more times, until chicken is cooked through and browned in spots, 20 to 25 minutes.
