Do you like chicken wings? I love them. It is not something I grew up eating. In fact I never used to eat them back in Italy, but since moving to Australia I have begun to appreciate them. I had some wings in my freezer and some raspberry jam left over from another recipe, so I thought they woud somehow go well together and I came up with this recipe. The method is similar to the one for the Sweet and Spicy Chicken wings that I have shared a while ago, in the sense that you first marinate the wings then you bake them and then you finish them off with a glaze, but the flavours are quite different. They are infused with South East Asia flavours, but they do have a touch of Italy as well, thanks to the balsamic vinegar. These wings are more on the sweet and sourish side (a little more sweet than sour) and are definitely sticky. In fact, make sure you have plenty of paper towels on the table as you will need them (unless you lick your fingers… and yes, that can happen too! ;-P). Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1.5 kg – 3.3 lbs. chicken wings
125 gms – 1 cup flour
Extra virgin olive oil
For the marinade
6 garlic cloves, finely minced
4 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp Kecap manis
2 tsp chilli powder
3 tsp salt
2 tsp pepper
For the glaze
300 ml – 1 ¼ cup raspberry jam
50 ml – ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 ½ tbsp brown sugar
½ to 1 tsp chilli powder
1 tsp red chilli flakes
Put all the marinade ingredients in a big bowl and mix well. Add the chicken wings, mix and coat them well with the marinade. Marinate in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours.
Now coat the chicken wings in the flour and shake off the excess flour.
Put them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and spray them with a little extra virgin olive oil.
Bake in a pre heated oven at 200°C – 400°F for 25 minutes. Then turn the chicken wings and bake them on the other side for another 25 minutes. This cooking time also depends on the size of the wings you are using.
While the chicken is baking, combine all the glaze ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil.
Let it cook for another 5-6 minutes stirring constantly. Remove the glaze from the fire and keep it aside.
Once the chicken is cooked, dip the wings in the glaze and coat them well.
Serve hot.

On a completely different note, Manu’s Menu has been nominated for a few awards lately. You know, nothing makes me happier than being awarded by my fallow bloggers. I think it is because we all know how much work, love and dedication we put into our blogs!
I really want to thank Allen from Cook! Bake! Share! for passing MsM the Very Inspiring Blogger Award!
And Maria Giovanna from Sharing my Italy for sharing with MsM the Sunshine Award, the Beautiful Blogger Award and the One Lovely Blog Award! Wow!
Thank you Allen and Grazie Maria Giovanna for thinking of me! I feel very honoured!!! 🙂 Please everyone, take a moment to visit these 2 wonderful blogs!
The rule for accepting the awards is to share something about yourself. This time, I have decided to answer some questions from Maria Giovanna’s awards. So, here they go!
- What is a real fear you have? I am somewhat claustrophobic!
- As a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I’ve always wanted to be an anthropologist.
- What are some of your hobbies? Cooking, blogging, reading and travelling.
- What hobby would you like to start? Drawing and photography.

Now, time to pass along the awards to 8 of my favourite bloggers. Have fun browsing!

These chicken wings would be something I would love and would such dry :))) but not something what my husband would eat 😀
Aw thanks Manu! So honored to have you pass this on to me 🙂 I enjoyed reading more about you and love that you’ve never pulled a prank on anyone – you’re so sweet! These wings look amazing, I’m loving the raspberry glaze!
I’m humbled to be in this group, Manu. You’re really kind. I’m not surprised that you’ve never played a prank on anyone – you’re such a nice person.
I cannot say the same about myself, however. I *have* played pranks but only nice ones. I’ve never embarrassed or hurt anyone.
These photos of your chicken wings are pure delight.
WOW, what amazing wings! They look perfect!
These wings look just delicious!
My goodness manu! Is there anything you cannot make?! Lol
Everything you make looks delicious and these wings are no exception 😉
You are too kind Manu
I am honored to be in such company! I am actually writing a post with an award for you !
I honestly have to say that I have never tried making chiken wings at home. I love cooking with chickens but chicken wings are the cut I never buy…maybe if I had a wonderful recipe like yours that would change
Wow! That is something so different!!! Such a great spin on chicken wings, must try it. Congratulations on your award, you so deserve it.
Manu, those chicken wings look amazing!! But this time, I want to extend my sincerest congratulations to you on your accomplishments! It’s really not surprising, you getting noticed for your blog. The love and dedication you pour into it is palpable. Your photos are amazing, and it truly seems like there is nothing you can’t do. I just wish you could be my neighbor. Or better yet, me be yours in Australia–ha! Eating a meal prepared by you would be on MY bucket list, for sure!! 🙂
Thanks Manu…you are so lovely…!!!
The chicken wings look fantastic, and the better thing is that are baked and not fried…!!!
Have big packets of chicken wings in the freezer [OK, Ms Cholesterol, it’s the weekend coming up, so just forget about me awhile!!], mostly meant for stock BUT this recipe is so moreishly same-same and then different! It’s the raspberry jam, of course! To be tried soonest! And, congratulations on all the so well-deserved awards!!! Loved to read more about you: one thing I have achieved is to see the Northern Lights – well worth waiting for, I can assure you!!!!
Wow! Where did you see the Northern Lights?? We’ve tried once in Rovaniemi with no luck… hopefully we’ll be able to try again soon!
Do let me know if you make the chicken wings! Happy weekend! 🙂
Look SE of Sweden and S of Finland on the map: a small Baltic country called Estonia. I was born there and was able to stay until I was 9: – even that far S of the Pole, we had many clear nights with the incredible Lights. When they were on, parents ‘forgot’ about children’s bedtime hours and we stood or sat on clear ground for hours! Actually I could get quite scared: the Light changes were so violent to a child’s eye and the shapes and colours turned so suddenly that all kinds of frightening fairy tales came to mond 🙂 !
Thanks so much for the award, Manu. I agree with your choices. There are a couple I didn’t know so thanks for the suggestions. Yes to the chicken wings and yes to the chocolate mousse – a special favourite of mine too.
Chicken Wings with raspberry jam…oh Manu this must be so flavorful. I would never thought to put those two together but I have feeling it worked very well. I am loving your tempting photos!
Thank you for the award…I appreciate that you thought of me!!!! <3
This sounds wonderful!! I love this raspberry glaze!
My mouth is seriously watering now. Wow, thanks for sharing Manu. Have a great weekend!
This looks wicked good. Love a good glaze over chicken. This glaze if perfection.
Oh, what a fantastic dish…I love the fruit/soy/balsamic glaze on this chicken. Irresistible! And you are so sweet to pass this award on to me, Manu. Thank you! xoxo
