Main Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 pounds raw chicken wings Use fresh or frozen.
  • 1 packet dry onion soup mix
  • 1/2 cup apricot preserves Can substitute with other fruit preserves.
  • 1/4 cup Russian dressing

Method
 

Preparation and Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly coat a 9×13-inch glass casserole dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Add the raw chicken wings to the casserole dish.
  3. Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix over the top, then spoon in the apricot preserves and Russian dressing.
  4. Toss everything together until the wings are evenly coated. Spread the wings into a mostly even layer.
  5. Bake uncovered for 45 to 55 minutes, turning the wings once halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce is bubbling and caramelized.
  6. Let the wings rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon some of the pan sauce over the top when serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, you can broil the wings for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking. If you prefer a spicier kick, add some hot sauce to the mixture before tossing with the chicken wings. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
