From a recipe in Gourmet MagazineÂ
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 pounds chicken wings (disjointed, wing tips cut off and set aside for another use)
- 2 large rectangular pans (preferably disposable foil 12 by 16 inches)
For The Sauce:
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 cup apricot preserves
- 1 cup fresh lime juice
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 6 large garlic cloves
- 3 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
For The Garnish
- 1 bunch scallions, sliced, to sprinkle on top
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Divide the chicken wings between the two large foil pans, spreading them out into a single layer.
- Put all of the sauce ingredients, except the red pepper flakes, into a blender and puree. Divide the sauce, pouring half into each pan. Toss to coat. Sprinkle red pepper flakes evenly over chicken, 1 1/2 teaspoons per pan. Toss to combine.
- Cook the chicken in the upper and lower shelves of the oven for 50 minutes. Switch the position of the pans and flip wings over. Cook for another 30-45 minutes, checking often to prevent burning, until the wings are darkened and the sauce is thick and sticky. Mound wings onto a platter and sprinkle with scallions. Sliced, lightly salted cucumbers make a good accompaniment. Enjoy!
