Creole Chicken Wings

This slightly spicy Creole chicken wings recipe makes a great appetizer. The flavors of salty and sweet come together delightfully.

3 pounds of chicken wings, tips removed

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 small shallot, finely diced

2 teaspoons of dry mustard

2 teaspoons of paprika

2 teaspoons of dried thyme

2 teaspoons of brown sugar

2 teaspoons of cayenne pepper

1 tablespoon of Creole seasoning

Juice of 1 lemon

APRICOT DIPPING SAUCE

½ cup of apricot jam or marmalade

1 tablespoon of Dijon Mustard

1 tablespoon of Pimiento-diced

2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar

½ teaspoon of crushed red pepper

Place the chicken wings onto a baking sheet, lined with aluminum foil.

In a small bowl, add the garlic, shallots, mustard, paprika, thyme, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and Creole seasoning. Stir and then add in the lemon juice to create a paste. Using a pastry brush, brush the mixture over the chicken wings. Let the chicken wings absorb the marinade for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Bake in a 475F degree oven for 15-20 minutes. Turn the chicken wings over and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until browned and crisp.

To make the apricot dipping sauce, melt the apricot jam in a saucepan over low heat. Add in the mustard, pimiento and apple cider vinegar. Serve this as the dipping sauce for the chicken wings.

TIP: Pimiento or “Pimento” can be substituted with red bell pepper. You can find canned pimiento in your local grocery store.
