Pomegranate Glazed Chicken Wings

I am super excited to share this simple and delicious chicken wing recipe that is uniquely sweet and tangy and a fun change up to traditional buffalo wings.

I am a big chicken wing fan. My original recipe for baked wings is my go-to whenever I am craving a fun appetizer or to watch a big game. This recipe is basically the same except that I use pomegranate molasses instead of Frank’s Red Hot sauce, which is my favorite for Buffalo style wings.

I also use the opportunity to garnish with chopped pistachios, pomegranate arils, and parsley to really Persian-ify the recipe.

Hope you give these fun wings a try. Enjoy!

Simple and delicious chicken wing recipe that is uniquely sweet and tangy with Persian flair!

Ingredients

• 2 pounds of chicken wing segments
• 4 Tablespoons pomegranate molasses
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 Tablespoon chopped pistachios (optional garnish)
• 1/4 cup fresh pomegranate arils (optional garnish)
• Few springs parsley (optional garnish)

Instructions

1. Lay wings in even layer on baking sheet without crowding.
2. Season both sides of wings with salt and pepper.
3. Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes, turning wings every 10 minutes.
4. Drizzle wings with pomegranate molasses and toss to coat. Optional garnish of chopped pistachios, fresh pomegranate arils, and parsley can be added for extra depth of flavor.

Notes

If using a convection oven the wings cook in half the time. Check them out when baking to ensure they don't get burned.
