Ingredients

Cider Glaze

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon hot smoked paprika
kosher salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 cup apple cider
⅓ cup apple cider vinegar Adding an additional 2 teaspoons
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter cut into pieces

Chicken Wings prepared using the Basic Chicken Wings recipe

Instructions

Prepare the chicken wings using your preferred method in the Basic Chicken Wings recipe.
While the wings cook, combine the apple cider, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and hot smoked paprika in a saucepan. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat as needed and simmer until the liquid reduces and develops a glaze-like consistency, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the cold butter a few pieces at a time until incorporated.
Toss the cooked wings with the cider glaze until evenly coated.
Garnish with sliced scallions and serve immediately.

Notes

Oven method: If cooking wings in the oven, place them on a rack over a baking sheet to help them cook evenly on all sides.

Serving suggestion: Serve with Apple Salad for a fresh, complementary side.

Glaze consistency: Allow the cider mixture to reduce sufficiently before adding the butter. If it remains too thin, continue simmering briefly before finishing the glaze.
