    A delicious Sweet & Tart Apricot Glazed Chicken Wings recipe for all you Wing lovers out there. These are baked and not deep fried!
     
    Apricot Glazed Chicken Wings

    Now, who doesn't like some good chicken wings? Especially Apricot Glazed Chicken Wings? These baked wings are da bomb!

    Chicken wings are generally known as Buffalo Wings and originated in the early '60s in Buffalo, New York (hence the name).

    If you are interested in more about their origin, visit the wiki page for Buffalo Wings.

    Hoisin Sauce

    More often than not, chicken wings are made spicy and served with a dipping sauce like Ranch dressing (to cut the heat a bit).

    Chicken wings are usually deep-fried to give it a nice crunch but many recipes now call for baking which is a little healthier for you.

    I personally love this chicken wing recipe. The apricot glaze is delicious! The perfect combination of sweet & tart. I also love that I can bake these without having to pull my deep fryer out. I always seem to make a mess when using my deep fryer.

    If you are a chicken wing lover like I am, give this one a shot. If you prefer your wings spicy, check out some of the other chicken wing recipes I have posted on this blog.
