Salt & Pepper Wings
 3 lbs chicken wings, washed and dried (2 dozen)
 2 tsp salt
 1.50 tsp freshly ground black pepper
 1 tbsp baking powder
Lemon White Balsamic Glaze
 2 tbsp garlic, minced
 2 tbsp ginger, minced
 1 jalapeno, minced (optional)
 ¼ cup water
 1 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
 juice and zest of 1 lemon
 ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
 1 tbsp cornstarch dissolved in ¼ c water (*slurry* thickening agent)
 cilantro or green onion, chopped
These Balsamic Chicken Wings are crispy but fall off the bone tender! We love making these for game day or a movie night. In this recipe, we used our sweet and tangy Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic, but you can use any balsamic vinegar to switch up the flavor profile!
1

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 

2

Toss the chicken wings in the Ginger Black Garlic Olive Oil, salt, freshly ground black pepper and baking powder. Arrange in a single layer on the baking sheet and bake for 40-45 minutes flipping halfway. Broil for 1-2 minutes each side for extra crispy... but watch them carefully!

3

While the wings cook, make the sauce! In a saucepan, heat the Ginger & Black Garlic Olive Oil. Add the minced garlic, ginger and jalapeño and sauté for 3-4 minutes over a medium heat until fragrant.

Add the Sicilian Lemon White Balsamic, honey, water, soy sauce, lemon juice (reserving the zest for later) and black pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes. 

Ideally, we want our White Balsamic Wing Sauce to be thick and sticky. Add 1 tbsp of slurry mixture into your balsamic sauce and stir for 1-2 minutes. Continue adding 1 tbsp of slurry until your sauce has reached your desired consistancy.

Pour your sauce through a strainer to eliminate the aromatics from the sauce. Add the lemon zest into the strained sauce and mix.

In a large bowl, toss the wings in the Lemon White Balsamic Glaze and garnish with cilantro and/or green onions. Serve with your preferred dipping sauce and enjoy!
