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)
