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

To store leftover Pomegranate Chicken, place it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. When you're ready for a delicious encore, reheat the chicken in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until it's heated through and the skin is crispy again. This method helps preserve the flavor and texture, bringing back that just-cooked deliciousness!
