Preparation

Get these tasks done before you start cooking.

Marinating the Chicken Wings

1
Prep the wings
Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings thoroughly.
2
Make the marinade
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, Ras El Hanout, salt, and pepper.
3
Marinate the wings
Toss the chicken wings in the marinade, ensuring an even coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Tip: For deeper flavor, marinate overnight.

Preparing the Pomegranate Glaze

1
Combine ingredients
In a small saucepan, combine pomegranate juice, honey, balsamic vinegar, and salt.
2
Simmer
Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
3
Reduce glaze
Continue to simmer until the glaze is reduced by half and slightly thickened.
Tip: Do not over-reduce; it should still be pourable. For a bolder flavor, add a pinch of chili flakes.
