Glazed Chicken Wings

Here’s a recipe for you for delicious Italian-style glazed chicken wings, adding a touch of Mediterranean flavor to the classic recipe, full of aromas and taste.

Ingredients

• 1 kg of chicken wings
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
• Extra virgin olive oil
• For the glaze:
  • 100 ml of balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 1 sprig of rosemary, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1. Start by preheating the oven to 200 °C.
2. Clean the chicken wings well, cut off the tips and dry them with paper towels.
3. Place the wings in a large bowl, add salt, pepper, 2 slightly crushed garlic cloves, and rosemary. Dress with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and massage well to make the spices adhere to the chicken.
4. Arrange the wings on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, making sure they do not overlap, and bake for about 40 minutes or until golden and crisp.
5. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by combining balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, minced rosemary, salt, and pepper in a saucepan. Cook over low heat until the mixture has reduced and become similar to a slightly thick syrup.
6. Once the chicken wings are cooked, brush them generously with the glaze and return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes to caramelize well.
7. Remove the glazed chicken wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
