How to Make Balsamic Soy Glazed Chicken Wings
- Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C). Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds.
- Line two large, shallow baking pans with aluminum foil.
- Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss wings with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Divide evenly between the prepared baking pans, ensuring wings are in a single layer.
- Roast for 30-35 minutes, without turning, until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- While wings roast, prepare the glaze: In a 1- to 1 ½-quart heavy saucepan, combine ½ cup balsamic vinegar, ¼ cup soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about ⅓ cup (12-14 minutes).
- Remove glaze from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and smooth.
- Remove roasted wings from the oven and let them rest in the pans for 1 minute.
- Transfer wings to a large bowl using tongs.
- Pour the balsamic glaze over the wings and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Let the wings stand for 5 minutes to allow the glaze to set, then toss again before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
