Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pomegranate juice
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 pounds chicken wings disjointed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Optional: Pomegranate seeds, green onions and herbs for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Whisk together pomegranate juice, honey and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Allow the mixture to reduce to 1/2 the original ingredients or until it has thickened.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and evenly season both sides of wings with salt and pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper.
  • Bake for 16-20 minutes or until clear juices run out of the wings then baste or dip each wing in the pomegranate sauce and bake until sticky and golden brown for another 6-10 minutes (watch them carefully). If you want, you can double baste if there is enough sauce left for extra sticky love.
  • Garnish with pomegranate seeds, green onions and herbs if desired and serve.

Notes

How to Store & Reheat Pomegranate Honey Wings
  • Fridge: Let the wings cool to room temp, then pop them in an airtight container. They will keep in the fridge for 3-4 days.
  • Freezer: Once cooled, spread the wings on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They will last up to 3 months, and you can pull out just what you need without them sticking together.
  • Reheating: Warm the wings in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through and the skin crisps back up.
