How To Make poultry essentials: apricot sticky wings

• 
  Step 1
  PREP/PREPARE
• 
  Step 2
  I like making these in an ovenproof skillet; however, when I am doing large batches, I defer to baking pans lined with parchment paper.
• 
  Step 3
  Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 
  Step 4
  Place a rack in the bottom position and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
• 
  Step 5
  Add the braise ingredients to the skillet and whisk to combine.
• 
  Step 6
  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.
• 
  Step 7
  Add the chicken and sauce into the skillet, toss to combine, and throw in some red-pepper flakes, if using.
• 
  Step 8
  Add to preheated oven and bake until the wings are cooked through and the sauce is thick and gooey, about 60 - 90 minutes.
• 
  Step 9
  Every 10 – 15 minutes, open the oven, and give the wings a stir.
• 
  Step 10
  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.
• 
  Step 11
  PLATE/PRESENT
• 
  Step 12
  Put the wings in a bowl or platter and sprinkle with some sesame seeds. Enjoy.
• 
  Step 13
  Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
