Author Notes: Oh my, these wings are like no other wing around. I got to thinking about how I often stuff herbs under the skin of chicken breasts and so why not a wing! The flavors really burst on many levels! - JennT1981

Serves 8-10

2 1/2 pounds chicken wings
2 cloves, garlic, minced and pasted
1/3 cup fresh basil,
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup honey
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 pinch salt

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
In a food processor combine garlic and basil and pulse until resembles a paste.
Begin stuffing the mixture evenly under the skin of each wing and place on a greased baking sheet.
Bake 45 to 55 minutes, until crisp and juices run clear.
In the meantime combine olive oil, orange juice, honey, balsamic vinegar and salt in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and let simmer for flavors to meld and sauce reduces slightly.
Using a pastry brush, glaze wings 15 minutes into cooking time and each 15 minutes after that until done.
Watch wings carefully to prevent them from burning.
