Dijon Brown Sugar Glazed Chicken Wings

Dijon Brown Sugar Glazed Chicken Wings

I love this flavor combination on fantastic baked ham or roast pork loin but when one reader asked if I'd ever tried it on chicken the answer was no. My immediate thought though, was that it would make a delicious glaze for chicken wings. With several teenagers on hand for Wing Night, I tried these out to some willing taste testers and the reviews were great. I think the brown sugar adds a greater depth of flavor than honey does with dijon and I think I'll be trying it on bone-in chicken breasts soon too.

Baked chicken wings with a super easy sticky brown sugar and dijon glaze. Great, easy game day food.

2. Season the wing pieces with salt and pepper and bake on a parchment lined cookie sheet for about 35 minutes, turning once during the cooking time.
