Broiled Chicken Wings with Spicy Apricot Glaze

Recipe inspired from Epicurious
ingredients
4 1/2 lbs chicken wings
1 TBS grapeseed oil/olive oil
1/2 tsp. black pepper
2 1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. apricot preserves
1/2 c. fresh lime juice
1 garlic clove, smashed
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. cayenne

 Pre-heat broiler, and line baking sheet with foil.  Toss wings with oil, black pepper, and 2 tsp. salt, and layer on baking sheet.  Broil 4-5 inches from heat, turning over once, until barely cooked through.  About 7 minutes per side. (timing will depend on the size of you wings)


While wings are broiling, blend preserves, lime juice, garlic, cumin, cayenne, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt until in food processor or blender until smooth.  Transfer to a heavy saucepan, and bring to a boil over moderate heat, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally for 1 minute.
Brush 1/4 cup sauce on cooked wings and broil 2-3 minutes.  Brush wings with 1/4 cup sauce again then turn wings over and brush with another 1/4 cup sauce.  Broil until more deeply browned, 2-3 minutes.  Brush with remaining sauce before serving.
