Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 1 cup apricot preserves
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced (for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Pat dry the chicken wings with paper towels and place them in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Step 3

Arrange the chicken wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching. Bake for 25 minutes.

Step 4

While the wings are baking, prepare the apricot glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the apricot preserves, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, apple cider vinegar, and honey. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens slightly.

Step 6

After 25 minutes of baking, remove the wings from the oven. Use tongs to transfer them into a large mixing bowl, then pour the apricot glaze over the wings. Toss the wings to coat them thoroughly in the glaze.

Step 7

Return the glazed wings to the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they are evenly caramelized.

Step 8

Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet, tangy, and savory flavors of Linda's Apricot Chicken Wings!
