Ingredients for Balsamic Soy Glazed Chicken Wings

  • Chicken Wings
  • Olive Oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Balsamic Vinegar
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • Unsalted Butter

How to Make Balsamic Soy Glazed Chicken Wings

  1. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C). Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds.
  2. Line two large, shallow baking pans with aluminum foil.
  3. 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.
  4. Roast for 30-35 minutes, without turning, until golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  5. 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).
  6. Remove glaze from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter until melted and smooth.
  7. Remove roasted wings from the oven and let them rest in the pans for 1 minute.
  8. Transfer wings to a large bowl using tongs.
  9. Pour the balsamic glaze over the wings and toss gently to coat evenly.
  10. 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

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
