Deliciously baked chicken wings with the perfect combination of flavors. Balsamic Pepper Fig Chicken Wings is the perfect appetizer or meal!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds Chicken Wings 
  • 3 tablespoons Flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder 
  • 1/3 cup Balsamic Pepper Fig Spread

Instructions

1. Preheat oven 450 degrees.
2. Prepare the chicken wing, if you bought them whole (like I did). Cut through the joint of the wing and remove the wing tip. Then cut through the second joint to separate the wing into the forearm and upper arm portions.
3. Mix dry ingredients into a large bowl.
4. Dry your chicken wings a bit using paper towels (this will help the dry ingredients better stick to the chicken).
5. Toss in the chicken wings until well coated with the dry ingredients.
6. Spread evenly over a baking sheet.
7. Spray with cooking spray.
8. Bake for 40 minutes. Turning once or twice as needed until browned and crispy.
9. Once baked remove from the oven and toss in a large bowl with the balsamic pepper fig spread.
Make sure you coat every piece of chicken very well.

10. Place the chicken wings back to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Notes

The spread will blacken just a bit and melt beautifully.

The dinner table was in absolute silence…that’s when you know that they approve of the meal. This chicken wings are irresistible lick your fingers good. Once the chicken wings bakes for a while they are covered by the balsamic pepper fig spread and tossed back into the oven for an additional 5 minutes. The spread blackens a bit and melts so beautifully that makes each and every wing so irresistible. But, don’t take my word for it, go on and bake them yourself. They are going to be making an appearance on our kitchen table many times this year, I am sure of that.
