Baked apricot sticky chicken wings

How do you make sticky chicken wings?

  1. Make the glaze: Combine apricot preserves, a splash of soy sauce, lemon juice, brown sugar and water in a saucepan. Simmer until the sugar has dissolved and the glaze has thickened slightly and is glossy and sticky. I also add red pepper flakes/chilli flakes because I love anything spicy but you can definitely leave them out if you or your guests don’t like spicy food.
  2. Trim the wings: If your chicken wings are whole, simply split them into two by cutting in between the two joints or ask your butcher to do it for you.
  3. Glaze and bake: Place the chicken wings in a bowl and season with salt then pour over half of the glaze. Stir to coat then transfer the wings to a baking sheet. Bake in a hot oven, basting with the glaze every 15 minutes, until the wings are caramelized, glossy, sticky and cooked through. Serve with the remaining glaze for dipping.

How long do chicken wings take to cook?

In a 200ºC/400ºF oven, chicken wings should bake for around 30-40 minutes. You want them to be fully cooked through to the bone and give the glaze time to caramelize and create a super sticky exterior.

What to serve with chicken wings?

Chicken wings are the perfect easy snack and make a great family meal when served with any of these side dishes:

  • Summer grilled corn salad
  • Creamy condensed milk potato salad 
  • Baked garlic potato wedges
  • Crispy salt and pepper smashed potatoes
  • Easy creamy curried macaroni salad

    I love many of your recipes, but I often find your nutrition info lacking by not indicating the Serving Size for the stated nutrition details. Could you let me know what the Serving Size is for this Chicken Wing recipe?

      The nutritional info is always for the serving size mentioned in the recipe. So if a recipe says “Serves 4”, the nutritional info would be for one serving.
