I had no idea really how much I’d enjoy these baked Thousand Island wings. I kind of have a thing about baked wings to begin with. And the ingredients for sauce, although each yummy on its own, seemed like one of most unusual combinations I’d ever seen. Well, let me tell you folks. You need to make these. And not like next month. Not even next week. Today. Now.
Yummy Sauce. Big Time Yummy.
Thousand Island dressing. Apricot preserves. Onion soup mix. Huh? But you know what, the sauce is AMAZING! I could drink this stuff. Literally. Heck I don’t even really like apricots and I would go for adding more to this sauce. It’s like the whole world turned on its side and my eyes (and mouth!) opened to great new flavors! I’ll definitely be making these baked Thousand Island wings again and soon.
Great Baked Wings???
I don’t usually like baked wings not because of how they taste but the texture is sometimes just not there for me. I like a clean bite-thru skin. I want a bit of color. And a bit of crunch. I actually got all those things with these wings.
If you’re looking to impress a crowd with super-flavorful wings that aren’t the usual Buffalo-flavored kind, make these and impress everyone!
Also try my baked maple wings.
Baked Thousand Island Wings
Ingredients
- 1 cup Thousand Island salad dressing
- 1 cup apricot preserves or jam
- 1 ounce onion soup dry mix 1 packet
- 6 chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dressing, preserves and onion soup mix until well combined and smooth.
- Lightly spray a baking dish with non-stick spray. I found that a glass dish seems to work best.
- Arrange the wings along the bottom of the pan. Do not let them touch or overlap.
- Pour the sauce over the wings. Get it spread out evenly.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil (but do not discard!). Return the pan to the oven and bake another 30 minutes.
- Remove wings from oven and serve hot.
- Optional: Spray the foil with non-stick spray on one side and transfer to a baking sheet. Transfer the cooked wings to the foil and place the pan under the broiler for 2-4 minutes (keep an eye on it!) to brown the wings and give them a bit of a crunch.
