Ingredients:
- 30 chicken wings
- 1/3 cup chili sauce
- 1/4 cup orange marmalade
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup prepared mustard
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Prepare the Chicken: Start by cutting each chicken wing in half and placing them in a large resealable bag. This will help the marinade coat the wings evenly. |
| 2 | Make the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the chili sauce, orange marmalade, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and prepared mustard. Whisk everything together until well blended. |
| 3 | Marinate the Wings: Pour the marinade into the bag with the chicken wings. Seal the bag tightly and turn it several times to ensure all the wings are coated with the delicious marinade. |
| 4 | Chill the Wings: Refrigerate the bag of wings for at least 4 hours, or if you have the time, marinate them for up to 24 hours. This allows the flavors to meld and infuse into the chicken. Remember to turn the bag occasionally to redistribute the marinade. |
| 5 | Preheat the Oven: When you’re ready to cook, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). |
| 6 | Prepare the Pan: Drain the chicken wings, reserving the marinade. You’ll need it later for basting. Place the wings on a broiler pan. This allows the excess fat to drip away while the wings cook, giving you crispy, delicious results. |
| 7 | Bake the Wings: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 45 to 60 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. While they’re baking, brush them occasionally with the reserved marinade. This adds extra flavor and keeps the wings juicy. |
| 8 | Serve and Enjoy: Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. This helps the juices redistribute, ensuring every bite is succulent and flavorful. Serve these Zesty Orange Barbecued Chicken Wings hot, with your favorite sides and dipping sauces. Enjoy the tangy, sweet, and spicy flavors that will have everyone reaching for seconds! |
