1 hr 5 min

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds chicken wingettes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¾ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1.

    Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven. Line 2 large shallow baking pans (17 by 11 inches) with foil. Put pans in oven and preheat oven to 500°F.

    10 min

  2. 2.

    Pat wings dry, then toss with oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and divide between preheated pans, spreading wings in 1 layer. Roast, without turning, until golden and tender, about 35 minutes.

    35 min

  3. 3.

    While wings roast, simmer vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1/3 cup, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted.

    14 min

  4. 4.

    Remove roasted wings from oven and let stand in pans 1 minute (to make wings easier to remove from foil), then transfer with tongs to a clean large bowl.

    1 min

  5. 5.

    Pour balsamic mixture over wings and toss to coat well. Let stand 5 minutes, then toss again.
