Sticky Red Wine Glazed Wings
Description
This recipe marinates chicken wings in a mixture of sesame oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, honey, hot sauce, hoisin sauce, and garlic to infuse a balance of tangy, savory, and spicy flavors. After marinating, the wings are baked initially with oil on a sheet pan, then basted twice with the reserved marinade to keep them moist and flavorful as they cook to a golden finish.
Concurrently, a sticky red wine glaze is prepared by simmering cabernet sauvignon with sugar, molasses, and finely chopped tomato. The glaze is thickened with cornstarch mixed with additional wine until syrupy, developing a rich, glossy coating for the wings.
The wings can be garnished with fresh thyme to add a fragrant herbal note that complements the glaze. This preparation yields wings that are tender with sticky, flavorful skin, suitable as a main or appetizer.
Ingredients
- 2 - 3 lb chicken wings drumettes and wingettes
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
Marinade:
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoon hot sauce of choice
- 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 6 garlic minced, cloves
Wine Glaze:
- 1¼ cups cabernet sauvignon or your favorite red wine
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tomato finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
Garnish:
- thyme fresh
Instructions
- Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl or in a ziplock bag. Add the wings, shake, and coat well with the mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Add two tablespoons of canola oil to a large baking sheet. Shake excess marinade off the wings (don't discard), and place them on the sheet, not overlapping them. Bake for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes of baking, pour ½ of the marinade over the wings, bake for 15 minutes, flip, and pour the rest of the marinade. Bake for 15-20 minutes; the meat should come off the bone relatively easily. The wings should be golden.
- While the wings are baking, start on the red wine sticky glaze. It will take 20-30 minutes to make.
- Add 1 cup of wine, sugar, molasses, and tomato to a medium saucepan and boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil on low heat until the glaze is thick and syrupy, about 15-20 minutes. Stir frequently.
- Mix cornstarch with the remaining 1/4 cup of wine to make a slurry and add it to the wine mixture. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let the glaze rest for 10 minutes.
- Remove the wings from the oven, place them on a serving plate, and pour the red wine sticky glaze over them. Let stand for 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme and serve.
