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

    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

    Preheat broiler.

    Step 2

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

    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.
