I love using preserves when making things like wings. You can use most any kind, and then add a few other bits-and-bobs until you get the flavors where you want them. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make poultry essentials: apricot sticky wings

  • 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • 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.
  • 3
    Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • 4
    Place a rack in the bottom position and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
  • 5
    Add the braise ingredients to the skillet and whisk to combine.
  • 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.
  • 7
    Add the chicken and sauce into the skillet, toss to combine, and throw in some red-pepper flakes, if using.
  • 8
    Add to preheated oven and bake until the wings are cooked through and the sauce is thick and gooey, about 60 - 90 minutes.
  • 9
    Every 10 – 15 minutes, open the oven, and give the wings a stir.
  • 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.

    PLATE/PRESENT
  • So Yummy
    12
    Put the wings in a bowl or platter and sprinkle with some sesame seeds. Enjoy.
