Spicy Diablo Baked Wings

  • Time:
    1 hour
  • Servings:
    3 dozen wings
  • Difficulty:
    Medium

Ingredients

  • ½ cup blood orange juice (ok to substitute regular orange juice)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons Sriracha 
  • 3 pounds chicken wings, tips removed and drumettes

Glaze: 

  • 1 large jar apricot preserves
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (½ stick)
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1-2 teaspoons Sriracha

Instructions

  • Mix the orange juice, olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the Sriracha together in an extra large plastic zip top bag or a large glass bowl. Allow the chicken to marinate as long as possible; overnight is preferable.
  • Whisk all of the ingredients for the glaze except the butter together in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the butter; let sit for 15 minutes to cool and thicken.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prep two large baking sheets with wire racks. Spray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the racks. Bake for 40 minutes or until skin is crispy; this will depend on the size of your chicken pieces. Transfer hot wings from oven to a large heatproof bowl and pour enough sauce into the bowl to coat the wings. Toss to coat well. Transfer wings to a wire rack set over a baking sheet and brush with more sauce. Bake for 8-10 minutes until glaze is caramelized. (Internal temperature for chicken should be 165 degrees according to the USDA)

Yield: 3 dozen wings
