Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Season the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Season them with salt and pepper, and arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the Wings: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip the wings halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
- Prepare the Sauce: While the wings are baking, combine the strawberry preserves, habanero peppers, garlic, soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and grated ginger in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is heated through and the flavors are well combined, about 5-7 minutes.
- Coat the Wings: Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the strawberry habanero sauce over the wings and toss them gently to coat evenly.
- Serve: Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter. You can garnish them with sliced green onions or sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Feel free to adjust the amount of habanero pepper in the sauce to suit your preferred level of spiciness. Enjoy your Strawberry Habanero Chicken Wings!
