1 envelope dry onion soup mix
1 jar (10 ounce size) apricot jam
8 ounces Russian salad dressing

directions

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.

Place the baking dish in the oven and bake at 250 degrees F for 3-4 hours or until the wings are cooked through. Do not bake at a higher temperature or the apricot sauce may burn.

common recipe questions


Can I use a different type of jam instead of apricot?

Yes, you can use other types of jam like peach, orange marmalade, or pineapple.

Is there a substitute for Russian salad dressing?

If you don't have Russian salad dressing, you can use French or Catalina dressing as a substitute. You can also make a simple mix of ketchup, vinegar, and sugar.

Can I make this recipe in a slow cooker?

Yes, you can make this recipe in a slow cooker. Cook on low for 3-4 hours or on high for 2-3 hours until the wings are tender. You can put them under the broiler for a few minutes after cooking to give them more of an oven-baked texture.

How can I make this dish spicier?

To make the dish spicier, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the sauce mixture.

Can I prepare the wings in advance?

You can marinate the wings in the sauce overnight in the refrigerator. Bake them as directed when ready to serve.

  1. mommajozy REVIEW:

    I used to make this with chicken breasts!!! It can be messy and sticky, but oh so good! Now, I use it to coat and BBQ Chicken! Try this... Mix ingred and set aside. Par boil chicken with bone in and skin on until almost done. Drain well, let cool. When ready, coat bottom sides first with sauce, then grill till pretty dark. The sugar content gets really dark but this is GOOD. Coat top and turn. BBQ till dark in color. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
