Ingredients
Units
Scale
- Chicken wings (whole or pre-cut into flats and drumettes)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken Wings: Pat your chicken wings dry with paper towels. If using whole wings, cut them into flats and drumettes. Toss the wings with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Make the Pumpkin Spice Glaze: In a medium saucepan, combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, chili powder, garlic powder, and apple cider vinegar. Stir over medium heat until smooth and combined, then let simmer for 5 minutes.
- Bake the Wings: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Spread the wings in a single layer and bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Coat the Wings in Glaze: Once the wings are crispy, remove from the oven. Toss the wings in the pumpkin spice glaze until fully coated.
- Serve and Enjoy: Arrange wings on a platter and drizzle any remaining glaze over them. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, pat them dry before baking and consider using a rack to allow air circulation.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more chili powder, cayenne pepper, or hot sauce to the glaze.
