Description

These Honey Curry Chicken Wings offer a fantastic twist on classic appetizers, blending sweet honey and orange marmalade with warm Indian spices like turmeric, cumin, and Madras curry powder. The result is a sticky, aromatic glaze that clings to tender, roasted chicken. The addition of prepared mustard and red wine vinegar cuts through the sweetness, creating a balanced, complex flavor profile. Perfect for game day gatherings, casual weeknight dinners, or as a show-stopping appetizer for parties. The toasted sesame seeds add a delightful crunch and nutty finish. Simple to prepare with pantry staples, these wings are sure to become a favorite for their comforting richness and bold, savory-sweet taste.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
  2. Rinse chicken wings well and pat completely dry with paper towels.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, honey, prepared mustard, orange marmalade, cumin, turmeric, salt, allspice, ginger, pressed garlic, and curry powder.
  4. Microwave the mixture on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring well, until butter is melted and ingredients are dissolved.
  5. In a small separate bowl, dissolve cornstarch in red wine vinegar until smooth, then stir this mixture into the heated sauce.
  6. Dip wings, a few at a time, into the sauce mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
  7. Place coated wings in a single layer on a baking sheet or open casserole dish.
  8. Bake at 350F (177C) for 45 minutes, basting occasionally with any remaining sauce.
  9. Turn wings over and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
  10. Bake for an additional 30 minutes until wings are cooked through and sauce is sticky.
  11. Serve hot, optionally with rice.

Note

For a crispier skin, you can dredge the wings in a seasoned flour mixture before painting them with the sauce using a pastry brush. This gives the skin extra "presence" and texture.

When serving with rice, try adding 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric to the rice water before cooking for a complementary yellow color and mild flavor.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
