Mojo Spice Wings Recipe
I swear sometimes I just can't leave well enough alone.
Well...
I had some extra Marinade in the fridge and wanted to see how it would work on chicken wings.
But I wanted a slightly different flavor profile, so I had fun.
And since we had our Boat Club Potluck last Monday, I had an excuse to make these.
I took the basic marinade and added a little more of a fruity element.
- 3 lbs. Chicken Wings, frozen or fresh
- salt (opt.)
- Prepare
- the chicken wings, spreading them out on some a re-usuable parchment
paper on a rimmed baking sheet. (I love my re-usable parchment paper, makes cleanup so much easier and no scrubbing of pans, especially when you've got a lot of sugar involved.)
Sprinkle
the wings with salt if you like, or not. Bake at 375 for 30 - 40
minutes, turning them over at the halfway mark, just until the wings are done and browning.
While they're cooking/baking, prepare the marinade.
Mix all the ingredients together and simmer for 10 minutes. Let it cool a little and set aside while you cook the wings. You can also prepare this way ahead of time if you like, it keeps beautifully in the fridge.
This is a two part process.
After the wings have baked for 30-40 minutes, take out of the oven and baste the wings with some of the marinade/sauce and place back in the oven for 10 minutes, baste at least twice more, baking them inbetween bastes. You want to get a nice caramelization going. If they haven't browned enough, or caramelized enough, place them under the broiler for just a couple of minutes, keeping a close eye on them. With all that sugar they can burn very easily.
Serve when ready.
I did have to taste test a couple before serving them...
And it's a good thing I did, cause they all got eaten.
