Ingredients
- 12 chicken mid-wings (thawed)
- 100g fresh cranberries
- ¼ onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 30g honey
- 2 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp cooking wine
- ¼ tsp salt
- A pinch of black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
1. Prepare the Marinade – Effortless Chopping with No Sticking
Wash the cranberries and place them in the vegetable chopper. Press gently to create fine, even pieces.
Cut the onion into chunks and peel the garlic. Switch to the fine-chopping blade and press until both are minced. The sealed design of the chopper prevents eye irritation, while the onion turns sweet and soft, and the garlic becomes aromatic.
2. Marinate & Bake – Flavorful and Juicy
In a bowl, combine the chopped cranberries, minced onion and garlic, honey, soy sauce, cooking wine, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the marinade.
Make two shallow cuts on each chicken wing. Place the wings in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for deeper flavor).
Line a baking tray with foil and brush with olive oil. Arrange the marinated wings and bake at 200°C (400°F) for about 30 minutes, flipping halfway, until the skin is caramelized and crisp.
3. Serve – Sweet, Tangy, and Bursting with Juice
Drizzle the wings with the cranberry glaze from the baking tray and garnish with a few fresh cranberries. Each bite offers crispy skin, tender meat, and the perfect balance of sweetness from the cranberries and richness from the chicken.

This appetizer solves common Thanksgiving challenges—greasy starters and uneven marinating. The Geedel vegetable chopper makes prepping a breeze with its tear-free design for onions and even chopping for cranberries, helping them release more juice and enhance the marinade.
