Strawberry Balsamic Baked Wings

Sticky, sweet, and tangy baked chicken wings with a strawberry and balsamic glaze. Perfect for snacks or parties.

  • Total Time: 160 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ quart cool water
  • 4 tablespoons kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 3 pounds uncooked chicken wings
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 ¼ cup strawberry jam
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 medium garlic cloves (finely minced)
  • 1 tablespoon finely minced fresh ginger or ginger paste
  • 2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Finely chopped fresh cilantro or parsley

Instructions

  1. To prepare the brine, combine the water, kosher salt, and sugar in a large bowl, stirring until dissolved. Add chicken wings, cover, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  2. While wings are brining, prepare the sauce by combining all sauce ingredients in a medium pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Drain and dry the wings well, then spread them on a parchment-lined sheet pan and sprinkle with pepper. Bake for 15 minutes, flip, and bake another 15 minutes.
  4. Increase temperature to 475°F. Coat wings in a bowl with 5 tablespoons of sauce, then transfer to a foil-lined pan with a wire rack. Bake for 5 minutes, brush with glaze, then bake for another 5 minutes, repeating as necessary for a deep glaze.
  5. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro or parsley, serve warm.

Notes

For extra sticky glaze, repeat the brush-and-bake step a few times. Dry the wings very well after brining for the best crispiness.
