Hot Honey Wings with Spicy Balsamic Vinegar Sauce

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Wings:

• 2 pounds whole chicken wings, split at joints and tips discarded
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 2 tablespoons  Black Pepper Garlic Infused Olive Oil
• Salt, to taste

For the Hot Honey Balsamic Glaze:

• 1/3 cup Hot Honey Balsamic Vinegar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (optional, for extra flavor)
• Red pepper flakes or chili flakes (optional, for added heat)
• Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

2. Prepare the Homemade Chicken Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with black pepper garlic infused olive oil, baking powder, and a sprinkle of salt until evenly coated.

3. Bake the Chicken Wings: Place wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until the wings are golden and crispy.

4. Prepare the Hot Honey Balsamic Glaze: While the wings are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the hot honey balsamic vinegar, honey, soy sauce, melted butter, minced garlic, grated ginger (if using), and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat.

5. Toss the Wings in the Glaze: Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the hot honey balsamic glaze over the wings and toss to coat them evenly.

6. Optional: Broil for Extra Crispiness (Optional): If you want extra crispiness, you can place the glazed wings back on the baking sheet or wire rack and broil them for 2-3 minutes until they get a little extra crunch. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning and leave them the perfect golden brown.

7. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the glazed wings to a serving platter. Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for extra flavor and presentation.
