Sticky, Spicy, Irresistible: Glazed Chicken Wings

These wings aren’t just wings—they’re a sticky, spicy, flavor bomb. Muria Pepper No. 1 Preserve creates a glossy, caramelized glaze that clings to every crispy bite, balancing sweet heat with a bold umami finish. Whether you're serving them as a game-day snack, a party appetizer, or a weeknight indulgence, one thing’s for sure—you won’t be able to stop at just one.

Ingredients

For the Wings:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings (drums & flats)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (for extra crispiness)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For the Muria Pepper No. 1 Glaze:

  • ½ cup Muria Pepper No. 1 Preserve
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for extra silkiness)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (for balance)
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper (optional, for extra heat)
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Chopped scallions or cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prep & Bake the Wings

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and olive oil until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings skin-side up on the rack, making sure they don’t touch.
  4. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown.

2. Make the Sticky Glaze

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine Muria Pepper No. 1, soy sauce, honey, butter, and apple cider vinegar.
  2. Stir continuously until the mixture bubbles and thickens into a glossy, sticky glaze (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and stir in crushed red pepper (optional) for extra heat.

3. Coat & Serve

  1. Transfer crispy wings to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm, thick glaze over the wings.
  2. Toss until each wing is fully coated in that deep, glossy, peppery glaze.
  3. Plate and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and fresh scallions or cilantro.
  4. Serve immediately—and prepare for the compliments.

Pro Tip:

For extra caramelization, after tossing the wings in the glaze, place them back under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until slightly charred and sticky.

Pair With:

A cold, crisp beer or spicy margarita
A refreshing citrus slaw or cool cucumber salad
Steamed jasmine rice to soak up the extra glaze
