Tips and Tricks for the perfect Sticky Red Wine Glazed Wings :
- Start with organic chicken, using high quality meat, is always the best
- You can use any red wine for this recipe, however I haven’t tried it with white wine
- Fresh thyme is optional, but it adds a nice pop of color
- Taste the red wine glaze and adjust for salt as you please, as everyone’s taste is so different
- If you want the glaze to be spicier add more hot sauce
- The garlic is optional, it adds a nice savory flavor
- The glaze can be used on other meats, like ham and pork
Cheers to a good football season and I hope you found some inspiration for your Big Game Party! For more delicious ideas check my Appetizers page!
Sticky Red Wine Glazed Wings
Sticky Red Wine Glazed Wings are the perfect combo of sweet and savory finger food, with the wings covered in a flavorful red wine glaze.
Ingredients
- 2 - 3 lb chicken wings drumettes and wingettes
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoon hot sauce of choice
- 4 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- 1¼ cups Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tomato finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 teaspoon corn starch
- Fresh thyme
Instructions
- Combine marinade ingredients in a large bowl or in a ziplock bag, add the wings, shake and coat well with the mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Add 2 tablespoons of canola oil to a large baking pan, shake excess marinade off wings (don't discard) and place them in the baking pan, not overlapping.
- Pour ½ of the marinade over the wings after 15 minutes of baking, pour the rest of the marinade after 30 minutes of baking. At this moment wings can be turned on the other side, for uniform baking and to avoid sticking to the pan.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, meat must come off the bone fairly easily and the wings should have a dark golden color.
- While the wings are baking start on the red wine sticky glaze, it will take you 20-30 minutes to make it.
- Add 1 cup of wine, sugar, molasses and tomato to a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Boil on low heat until the glaze is thick and syrupy, about 15-20 minutes. Stir frequently.
- Mix corn starch with the remaining 1/4 cup of wine to make a slurry and add it to the wine mixture. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let the glaze rest for 10 minutes.
- Remove wings from oven, place on a serving plate and pour the red wine sticky glaze over them. Let it stand for 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh thyme and serve.

I love this! That cocktail in particular looks amazing. The glazed wings also look delicious.
I remember working in the States and it was the Superbowl. I have never seen such a sense of community come from a rugby game! When we have football games in the UK, the police are involved. I like your way better!
Hi Tori, yes, the football in UK is a little more intense, glad that you like the American one too 🙂
That sounds like a fantastic recipe. Red wine and wings sounds right up my alley!
Beautiful decor! I usually drink Mondavi and their wine, this is a nice wine for the price for sure
Thanks Alina, yes that wine is really good!
These wings sound and look so delicious. I’d love to try this recipe. I can’t wait for the Big Game!
I will be making these again for the Big Game! They are so good!
Chicken wings glazed with red wine?? I would watch football all day long if it meant indulging in there 🙂
I want to go to a football party at your house! I don’t know which looks better the sangria or the wings – yum! #client
Just try both Kelly, and you are welcomed at our football party!
Oh my gosh, those Sticky Red Wine Glazed Wings look AMAZING! I’ll definitely be trying this recipe out for my Big Game party <3
Thanks Angelic!
Great recipe. Beautiful photos everything looks delicious
What a creative idea! I love Woodbridge and Robert Mondavi wines. In fact, their Reisling is hands down my favorite ever. What a fun spin on hot wings. Loved the Asian flair and the touch of wine. Would love to be a guest at your fiestas!
Thank you Jelli, I have to try their Reisling, but I loved the Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon.
i almost want to eat meat again!!!! this looks so good!!!
haha thanks, take a glass of sangria in the meantime!
That’s a fine set of meal with the white wine sangria, I like the football design too. The glazed wings looks tasty too.
Thank you Franc!
The Sticky red wine glazed wings sounds and looks amazing. I would love to try the white wine sangria too with the little fruit and wine popsicles in it. Yummy!! Thanks for sharing the recipes and the ideas.
Thank you Rebecca, let me know if you get a chance to try them!
We love a good football game day spread!! I will be adding your sangria and wings to my next one 🙂
Hope you enjoy them Rebecca!
Oh, yes please! I want a cup (pitcher) of Sangria and a big ol’ plate of wings on game day. Love the frozen melon cubes, I do that too (but with a melon baller)…nothing beats boozy melon bites when the drink is all gone. 😉
Take a pitcher, the sangria its so good 🙂
Those wings look amazing! I am not a drinker but the sangria looks pretty tasty too, very refreshing! Great looking set up!
Those glazed wings look so good! I am always experimenting with different ways to make wings as they are easier for little fingers in my house than drumsticks. Thanks for sharing.
These all look totally awesome. I love those little crab apples, and what a great idea to use them with sangria and as a garnish. Totally cute!
Those crab apples are so sweet and cute!
I totally forgot that Walmart had Woodbridge and that they were actually good. I use to get it all the time when I lived in NC. I’ll have to try the sticky wine wing recipe
oh yes they do and I love that wine!
Loved how you decorated everything!! And I definitely have to try those wings! Thanks for sharing the recipe |
Thank you Ana!
I’m not big on wings but these look absolutely delicious! The fact that the sauce is made with wine makes it even better!
oh yes the wine sauce its what makes them amazing!
Hi
Did you use fresh orange juice or store-bought orange juice in the sangria. Also, what if you can’t find lady apples.
Hi Jackie – I used store bought pure orange juice, not from concentrate and no sugar added. Don’t worry about the lady apples, you can use any sweet apple like Fuji or Gale, or even pears.
