Print Recipe

These baked chicken wings are coated in a sweet and tangy strawberry-balsamic glaze, making for a perfect snack or party dish.

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. Combine water, kosher salt, and sugar in a large bowl to make the brine. Stir for 30 seconds to 1 minute until dissolved. Add chicken wings, cover, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by combining all glaze ingredients in a medium-sized pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line one sheet pan with paper towels and another with parchment paper.
  4. Drain wings and spread on the paper towel-lined sheet pan. Pat dry, then discard towels and transfer wings to the parchment-lined pan. Sprinkle with black pepper.
  5. Bake wings for 15 minutes, then flip and bake for another 15 minutes.
  6. Remove wings and increase oven temperature to 475°F. Toss wings with 5 tablespoons of the glaze in a large bowl.
  7. Transfer wings to a foil-lined sheet pan with a wire rack. Spray rack with cooking spray.
  8. Bake wings for 5 minutes, then brush with glaze. Repeat this step every 5 minutes until wings are deeply colored and the glaze is sticky.
  9. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Pat the wings very dry after brining for a crispier texture. You can swap strawberry jam for raspberry jam for a different flavor.
