Texas Pete Spicy Cranberry Wings
Crispy wings tossed in a glaze of cranberry sauce, orange zest and Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce, finished with scallions.
Ingredients
- ½ Cup Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 2 Tablespoons scallion bottoms white part, sliced
- 2 Tablespoons scallion tops green part, sliced
- 1 Cup cranberry sauce
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 4 teaspoons honey
- 2 Tablespoons orange zest
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 pounds plain cooked chicken wings prepared according to package directions
Instructions
- Prepare the Texas Pete® Cranberry Hot Sauce Glaze: Heat the oil in a saucepan over MEDIUM heat. Add the scallion bottoms and cook until softened, translucent, and lightly caramelized. Stir in the Texas Pete® Original Hot Sauce, cranberry sauce, vinegar, honey, orange zest, and salt. Cook until warmed through and well combined, then remove from the heat and reserve.
- Crisp the Wings: Spread the wings in an even layer on a sheet tray or in an air fryer basket, working in batches if needed. Cook in a 400°F convection oven or air fryer until hot and crispy, about 6 to 10 minutes.
- Glaze the Wings: Toss the wings with half of the glaze until evenly coated. Return the wings to the convection oven or air fryer on the highest setting for about 5 minutes to set and lightly char the glaze.
- Finish and Serve: Allow the wings to cool slightly, then toss with the remaining glaze. Transfer to a platter and garnish with the sliced scallion tops before serving.
Notes
Chef's Tip: If you prefer to start with raw wings, season and cook them to your liking before coating and finishing them with the glaze.
