2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken wings in a zip-top bag and pour about two-thirds of the marinade over the wings. Seal the bag and ensure the wings are evenly coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Let It Marinate: Allow the wings to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

4. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature will help achieve crispy skin on the wings while keeping them juicy on the inside.

5. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the marinated chicken wings in a single layer on the rack. The wire rack allows air to circulate around the wings, helping them cook evenly and crisp up beautifully.

6. Initial Baking: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to start the cooking process.

7. Apply the Remaining Marinade: After 15 minutes, remove the wings from the oven and brush them with the remaining marinade. Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until they are crispy and fully cooked through.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to rest for a few minutes. Serve them hot and enjoy the sweet, spicy flavors of the blackberry chipotle glaze!
