THE BEST CHICKEN WINGS IN THE WORLD!!!



The Best Chicken Wings in the World!!! image

My son Matthew brings these 3X a week to school. He has an allergy to peanut, potato, apple, and slightly to wheat. These have none of these in them so they are somewhat allergy free. Most wings are either rubbery(i.e..not cooked enough for my taste..or just not flavorful enough) Matthew has had several friends over who are extremely picky eaters. They all tried these and "loved" them. Their moms were shocked that I could feed them something such as this and they actually enjoyed doing so! I'd love some feedback as to how you liked my recipe if any of you have the time. Thanks!

Time 1h40m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 lbs chicken wings
1/2 cup butter (I use unsalted)
1 tablespoon parsley
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika (can be hot paprika if you like it spicy)
1/4 cup brown sugar

Steps:

  • pre-heat oven to 400.
  • cook chicken for one hour w/out anything on it (I use a broiler pan so the fat drips off) -- or you can use a cookie sheet.
  • After one hour take them out to cool completely(drain the fat that was in the pan or cookie sheet).
  • after they have cooled -- melt the butter on medium heat in a large pan or pot(wings will be put in this mixture).
  • stir in spices and brown sugar.
  • add the wings and stir them around until they are completely coated.
  • cook the wings once again on the middle rack on low "broil".about 10 minutes or as longs as you like them depending on the crispness you desire.
  • turn all wings over w/tongs and cook the other side to desired doneness(keep an eye on them).
  • *if using frozen wings -- follow exact directions.except when you get to the broiling part.it will take quite a bit longer(I cook them about 20-30 minute per side!).
  • These wings are sweet and have a nice flavor w/out being too hot or bland.
  • *If you have a large gatherring.these can be made ahead of time(just double or triple the recipe).
  • -prepare the wings ahead of time then freeze them:.
  • -pre heat oven to 350 and cook them right from the frozen state for 20-30 min per side.
  • - or let them thaw out and reheat to your liking @350 for a party to save you the hassle of trying to do too much on the day of.
  • Hope you like them. We never tire of them. I am not a real meat eater but, I do enjoy these no matter how often they are made!

Steps:

  • Then when done throw all the gooey sauce into the crock pot with the wings and simmer on low heat for as long as you want.
  • (At least 10 minutes) this is what makes them fall apart in your mouth, but you don't have to do it to cook them.

BEST STICKY CHICKEN WINGS



Best Sticky Chicken Wings image

For this recipe I strongly suggest to use fresh not frozen thawed wings as frozen will hold in too much water --- you may use 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic in place of garlic powder but the fresh garlic tends to burn while cooking, the choice is up to you or you may use both the powder and fresh garlic, the butter will firm up only slightly when chilled but will melt and blend in with the other ingredients when baked --- plan ahead the wings need to marinate a minimum for 8-24 hours, overnight is better -- these wings are delicious!

THE BEST... SPICY SRIRACHA CHICKEN WINGS



The Best... Spicy Sriracha Chicken Wings image

Okay-so I stole this from Michael Symon, but they are so FREAKING good I had to share! The recipe appeared in Food and Wine magazine (February 2008). These are the best chicken wings I have ever had. There is a perfect amount of heat (for my taste) and the spices blend together perfectly! Please-don't be scared of the cinnamon. Never... be scared... of the cinnamon! This dish pairs well with Pippy's recipe for Mango Salad (helps with the heat from the Sriracha) http://www.recipezaar.com/24779.

Categories     Chicken

Time P1DT30m

Yield 60 Wings, 7-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 lbs chicken wings, split
1/4 cup crushed coriander
1 teaspoon crushed cumin
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup sriracha chili sauce
12 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
3 limes, juice and zest of
vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • In a very large bowl, mix the coriander and cumin seeds, cinnamon, kosher salt and olive oil. Add split chicken wings and toss to cover completely. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  • Spread them wings on a few rimmed baking sheets and roast for about 30 minutes, until the wings are firm but not cooked all the way through. (Healthier Option: At this point, if you don't want to fry the wings, you can roast them for 1 hour longer, until they're golden and crispy.) Wash out your bowl. Add the Sriracha, butter, cilantro, lime zest and juice.
  • In a deep fryer or a very large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F.
  • Fry the wings in 4 or 5 batches until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes per batch; drain, shaking off the excess oil. If you like them crispy like we do, I say give 'em about 7 minutes. As each batch is finished, add the wings to the sauce and toss well. Transfer the wings to a platter, leaving the sauce in the bowl for the remaining batches. Recipe recommends serve hot-but I say they would be just as lovely cold!

This recipe receives raves every time I serve it! The sauce will be a small quantity and very thick. Don't let that scare you! Baking or grilling the chicken is also an option instead of frying.

PARTY ESSENTIALS: MY BEST BRINED CHICKEN WINGS



Party Essentials: My Best Brined Chicken Wings image

This is my most requested recipe for making chicken wings, and as we move towards the Superbowl, I have about 12 dozen of these to make... The secret is in the brine, and the finishing sauce... But we will talk more about that in the recipe. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

PLAN/PURCHASE
12 - 24 chicken wings, separated
24 oz beer, like budweiser or coors (2 bottles)
2 Tbsp coconut sugar
1 Tbsp salt, kosher variety, plus extra for the flour
1 Tbsp plain vodka, optional
1/2 c flour, all purpose variety
pepper, freshly ground, to taste
wing sauce, more on this later
ADDITIONAL ITEMS
celery sticks
blue cheese, or ranch dressing, or more wing sauce

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).

  • 4. Allow the mixture to come up to a simmer, and then continue simmering for five minutes.
  • 5. Remove from the heat, and add the vodka, if using.
  • 6. Chef's Note: The vodka is totally optional; however, it helps to mellow the sauce. Plus, if you drink enough of it... It helps to mellow you out.
  • 7. Cover and place into the fridge, until completely cool, about 1 - 1.5 hours.
  • 8. Add the wings to the brine, cover and return to the fridge for a minimum of one hour, or overnight.

  • 10. Remove from the brine, and discard the liquid.
  • 11. Chef's Tip: DO NOT drink the beer brine. I know that it is tempting, because... Well, it is beer. So, suck it up buttercup, and throw it down the drain.
  • 12. Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
  • 13. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and add a wire rack.
  • 14. In a paper or plastic bag, add a bit of salt and pepper to the flour, add the wings and shake.

  • 19. Chef's Note: You can use any sauce you please; however, this is my sauce of choice: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/sauce-essentials-the-best-chicken-wing-sauce.html?r=1
  • 20. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 21. Serve with some celery sticks, and some wing sauce, ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing... or all three. Enjoy.

BEST INSTANT POT CHICKEN WINGS RECIPE



Best Instant Pot Chicken Wings Recipe image

Provided by JAmero4702

Number Of Ingredients 14

Honey Garlic Sauce:
1 cup water
4 lbs fresh or frozen chicken wings bone-in
5 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons Mirin
1/2 cup honey
3/4 cup water
3 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or more
Cornstarch Slurry:
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Pressure Cook Chicken Wings: Add 1 cup of water to the the pressure cooker pot. If using frozen chicken wings, make sure they are not frozen in a block of ice. You should be able to separate them. Place the trivet with handles or steamer basket in the pot and stack the fresh or frozen wings directly onto it. Close the lid and make sure the valve points to sealed. Press the Pressure Cook button and set the timer for 12 minutes for frozen chicken wings and 8 minutes for fresh chicken wings. Prep Work While Wings Are Cooking: While the chicken wings cook, line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a cooking rack on top of it. Set aside. Turn oven to Broil. With the chicken wings still cooking, start making the sauce. You can also use store-bought sauce, see blog post for details. Honey Garlic Sauce: Add the garlic, ginger, Mirin, soy sauce, honey, water, sesame oil and red pepper flakes to a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Stir to combine and let it simmer for about 8-10 minutes, or until it starts to thicken. Stir often. In a small bowl combine cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water and stir until fully dissolved. Add the cornstarch slurry to the sauce and cook for 2-3 more minutes, until it thickens. Remove sauce from heat and set 1/2 cup to 1 cup aside for dipping. Broiling the Chicken Wings: Once the Instant Pot beeps and the cooking has been completed, do a 5 minutes Natural Pressure Release. Remove the lid carefully and remove the steamer basket or trivet with chicken wings. Transfer 1/2 of the wings to a large bowl, and pour the Honey Garlic Sauce sauce over them. Gently toss to coat the wings well in sauce on each side, preferably use your hand to do this. Arrange the wings on the prepared baking rack. Repeat with the remaining wings. Broil chicken wings for about 5 minutes, flip and broil on the other side. Watch wings closely not to burn them, and broil less or more, based on how crispy you prefer them. Serve the wings with the leftover 1/2 cup of sauce or with your favorite dipping sauce.

THE BEST BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS | THE COUNTRY COOK



THE BEST BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS | The Country Cook image

The Best Buffalo Chicken Wings are soaked in buttermilk, then breaded and fried. Finally they are topped with a delicious buttery hot sauce!

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds chicken wingettes (thawed)
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
oil for frying (peanut oil (preferably))
1/2 cup real butter (1 stick)
1/4 cup hot sauce (I like Frank's brand hot sauce)
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In one bowl, pour in your buttermilk.
  • In another bowl, combine flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, garlic and onion powders.
  • Dip each wing in the buttermilk, then coat in the flour mixture.
  • Place on a large plate.
  • Once you've dipped all the wings, allow them to hang out on the plate for about half an hour until the coating gets pasty looking.
  • In a Dutch oven or cast iron skillet (or a fryer if you have one), heat oil to 375F degrees (using a thermometer to get an accurate temperature).
  • Begin to fry the wings in batches (about 4-5 at a time). Fry them for about 8-10 minutes.
  • They should begin to take on a nice golden brown color when they start to get done.
  • If you are frying in a cast-iron skillet, I recommend moving the wings and flipping them around as you go so they don't stick to the bottom or get too dark in one spot and make sure your skillet is only about 1/2 full of oil before you begin frying.
  • When wings are finished, place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off the extra oil.
  • Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup of butter in the microwave. When melted, stir in hot sauce and fresh black pepper.
  • When all your wings are finished, start coating them in the hot sauce mixture.
  • Put about 4-5 wings at a time in the bowl and just roll them around in the mixture until fully coated. Keep going until all wings are coated.
  • Serve wings with RANCH DRESSING or blue cheese dressing and celery sticks!
