Cranberry Jelly and Thanksgiving Chicken?






We had a few extra cans of cranberry jelly lying around and needed to bring an appetizer to Thanksgiving dinner.  My brother loves wings so.... we made up a new recipe!  I hope you had a great Thanksgiving - I did :)

CRANBERRY GLAZED CHICKEN WINGS

1-2 lbs chicken wings

1 can cranberry jelly

2 tbsp honey

1 tsp ground ginger

¼ cup soy sauce

3 tbsp craisins

2 tbsp rice wine vinegar

1tbsp cranberry mustard (you can add more for a little bit more kick)

 2 tbsp vegetable oil

fresh cilantro

First, you mix all the ingredients in a big Ziploc bag,  remove ¼ cup of mixture to a separate bowl.  Second, salt and pepper the chicken wings.  Third, toss wings into the Ziploc bag ‘till fully coated.  Let the wings sit overnight in the fridge.

Line a shallow baking pan with aluminum foil, place wings one by one in the pan (a single layer).  Immediately throw away the Ziploc bag.

Bake at 425 degrees for ½ an hour – turn over once during cooking.  Baste each side with the reserved mixture in the bowl (NOT THE MIXTURE FROM THE ZIPLOC BAG!)

Sprinkle on some chopped cilantro and serve hot.
