Apricot Glaze Wings

Apricot glaze wings have a sweet apricot glaze that coats each chicken wing for the ultimate wing appetizer.

These wings are delightful. They have a sweet and tangy flavor that compliments the chicken well. They are perfect for game day!

The apricot glaze is a sweet and fun flavor to experiment with. Try this apricot and bacon stuffed chicken thighs or apricot shrimp kabobs for more great tasting apricot dishes.

We are all about game day at our house. My husband and boys love the game and the girls and I love the food.

Trying to find something new and fun to make with these wings was a blast.

I knew I wanted an apricot glaze and hoping for the best! These turned out even better than I could have ever imagined.

Let’s just say, these wings didn’t make it through the whole game.

What you need to make apricot chicken wings

Only a few flavorful ingredients that will make these wings above all the BEST! I am so happy to share these with you!

  • chicken wings

Sauce:

  • apricot preserve
  • honey
  • ginger paste
  • white wine vinegar
  • dijon mustard

How to make apricot chicken wings

So simple to make and just a few steps to get you the best of the best wings. You won’t regret it!

  • Mix sauce ingredients together, set aside
  • Broil chicken wings in single layer for 12 minutes, flipping once
  • Put in crock pot
  • Cover with sauce and toss
  • Cook on high for 2.5-3 hours or low for 5-6 hours

Can you make these ahead time? Yes!

These are great to make ahead of time. You can broil the chicken wings and have those all prepared for game day.

Let them completely cool and place in a ziplock bag or airtight container until ready to throw in the crock pot.

You can also make the apricot glaze sauce ahead of time too!

Make it into a meal!

Somedays are just great to have an appetizer kind-of meal. I love to make these with a light salad: Greek Chicken wedge salad, some fries: sweet potato fries or oven baked steak fries and my kiddos love a fun and spunky drink to go along with our meal: pineapple limeade.

Other ways to cook wings:

Deep fry:

To deep fry wings you will want to use an oil that has a high smoke point: Peanut or canola oil is best!

Heat to 350-375 degrees.

Add your wings to the oil.

Fry wings for 8 mins

Remove. Add apricot glaze.

Oven baked wings:

If you want truly crispy oven baked chicken wings, check out this post where I share all the secrets to getting great wings from the oven.

How to avoid a soggy skin, how to render fat. And how to get all the crisp texture you want from a fryer, but without all the extra oil.

The basics are toss it with baking powder (draws out moisture)

Bake on a baking sheet with a rack on top so air flow can make the entire wing crispy.

Add apricot sauce, finish baking or broiling.

Grill:

Grilling wings is such a fun way to get tons of flavor on the chicken wings.

Preheat your grill to 400-450 degrees.

Put wings on the grill.

Cook the wings for 15- 20 minutes, turning them every 5 minutes.

Check the internal temperature with an instant read digital meat thermometer.

When they reach 165°F they are done, remove them from the grill. Add apricot sauce.

Air fryer:

Air fryers are my favorite way to cook wings. The method is as follows:

Spray air fryer with oil.

Place seasoned or marinated wings into the basket, leaving room between each wing so air can circulate.

Cook at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Check internal temp with an instant read thermometer. When they reach 165°F they are done, remove them from the air fryer.
