Sweet and Spicy Raspberry Chicken Wings recipe - The Daily Meal
Total time: 1.32 hours
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 cup minced yellow onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 6 ounce (1 1/3 cups) raspberries, such as driscoll's
  • 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon light molasses
  • 2 tablespoon cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoon tomato ketchup
  • 2 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
  • 4 pound chicken wings
  • 2 tablespoon chili or madras-style curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • vegetable oil spray, for the baking sheet
Directions
  1. In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon canola oil. Add 1/2 cup minced yellow onion and cook, stirring often, until golden, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add 1 minced garlic clove and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Stir in 6 ounces (1 1/3 cups) raspberries, 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon light molasses, 2 tablespoons cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup, 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard and 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce. Bring to a simmer.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, until the raspberries are soft and the juices are slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
  5. Transfer to a blender and puree the raspberry mixture. Separate into two portions and let cool. Reserve one portion for the glaze and one for dipping later.
  6. Preheat oven to 425 F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with vegetable oil spray.
  7. Pat dry 4 pounds chicken wings with a paper towel. Toss them in a large bowl with 2 tablespoons chili powder (or madras-style curry powder) and 1 tablespoon kosher salt. Spread on the baking sheet.
  8. Roast, turning once, until the wings are browned and show no sign of pink when pierced at the bone with the tip of a knife, about 35 minutes.
  9. Brush with some of the sauce and roast until glazed, about 2 1/2 minutes. Turn, brush with more sauce, and bake until glazed, about 2 1/2 minutes longer.
  10. Transfer the wings to a platter and serve warm, with reserved sauce for dipping.
