We know everyone is watching so why not break out this recipe for some Spicy Apricot Glazed Wings and then next week for the big game you can perfect them!

Directions
-
- Step 1 Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and fit with a wire rack. Add about a teaspoon of vegetable oil to a piece of paper towel and grease the wire rack.
- Step 2 In a large bowl, combine wings, salt, and baking powder and toss to coat. Place on the prepared rack, making sure that no wings are touching. Place in the refrigerator uncovered, ideally for at least 8 hours, and no more than 24.
- Step 3 When ready to cook, preheat oven to 450°. In a medium bowl, whisk to combine jam, soy sauce, Sriracha, and sesame seeds.
- Step 4 When oven is preheated, place the wings on the center rack and bake for 20 minutes.
- Step 5 Meanwhile, make sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic, ginger, and five spices, and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
- Step 6 Add jam mixture to pan and cook, stirring constantly, until sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice and sesame oil. Transfer sauce to a large bowl.
- Step 7 When 20 minutes are up, remove wings from oven and use tongs to flip them. Return to oven and cook until wings are browned all over, about 15 minutes more.
- Step 8 Add cooked wings to bowl with sauce and toss well to coat. Transfer to serving platter, top with herbs, and serve with lime wedges on the side.
