Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix soy sauce and marmalade; put over chicken wings and let sit overnight.
- Remove chicken wings from marinade and bake for 45 minutes at 350°F.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding minced garlic or ginger to the marinade. If you don't have marmalade, apricot preserves work well as a substitute. Marinating the wings overnight allows the flavors to penetrate deeply, resulting in a more succulent dish. You can also grill the wings for a smoky twist, perfect for summer gatherings.
Serving Suggestions
These sticky wings are excellent for game day or casual gatherings. Serve them alongside crunchy celery sticks and a dipping sauce, like ranch, for a refreshing contrast. They pair beautifully with Gooood Chip Dip or can be complemented with a side of coleslaw. For a complete meal, consider serving them with American recipes like Chicken Macaroni Bake.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through. This method will help retain their crispiness. For longer storage, freeze the wings for up to 3 months.
