Description

These Cranberry-Barbecued Chicken Wings offer a delightful twist on classic barbecue, combining the rich, smoky flavor of grilled chicken with the bright, tart sweetness of jellied cranberry sauce. The marinade, infused with brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, penetrates the meat for deep flavor while creating a glossy, caramelized glaze on the grill. Perfect for game day gatherings, holiday parties, or a casual weeknight dinner, these wings are equally impressive served hot off the grill or at room temperature. The balance of sweet and savory makes them addictive, ensuring they disappear quickly from the platter.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place chicken wings in a shallow glass dish large enough to hold them in a single layer.
  2. In a 1-quart saucepan, combine the jellied cranberry sauce, packed brown sugar, prepared mustard, and Worcestershire sauce.
  3. Heat the saucepan mixture over low heat, stirring constantly until the sauce is smooth and the sugar is fully dissolved.
  4. Pour the warm cranberry sauce mixture evenly over the chicken wings in the dish.
  5. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to marinate.
  6. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off excess liquid, and reserve the remaining marinade in a small bowl.
  7. Preheat your grill to medium heat, ensuring the coals are hot but not flaming.
  8. Grill the chicken wings 5 to 6 inches from the heat source for 20 to 35 minutes.
  9. Turn the wings frequently and brush them with the reserved marinade 2 or 3 times during cooking.
  10. Continue grilling until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is golden brown and sticky, then serve immediately.
