CONFIT DUCK WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, combine the duck drumettes, garlic, thyme, salt, sugar, juniper and peppercorns. Rub the wings to coat thoroughly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• In a large hotel pan or baking dish, submerge the drumettes in the fat so that the wings are fully covered. If the wings are not completely submerged, add olive oil to cover.
• Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake until the meat just starts to pull away from the end of the bone, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
• Allow the wings to cool in the fat, then transfer them to a sheet pan. In a large bowl, dredge the wings in cornstarch to lightly coat. Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large Dutch oven to 360 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the wings until cooked through and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per batch.
• Serve the wings with Orange-Habanero Sauce and Hot Honey Garlic Sauce.
• Combine the marmalade, black pepper, hot sauce and salt in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
• In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, cook the garlic in the butter until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the chile flakes and honey and stir to incorporate. Let cool. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.

SALT AND VINEGAR WINGS

Steps:

• Whisk the vinegar, 1 cup water, 3 tablespoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl until the salt is mostly dissolved. Pour the liquid over the wings in a large nonreactive bowl or baking dish and submerge the wings. Refrigerate, stirring occasionally so that all the wings are coated, 2 hours.
• Drain the wings. Pat dry and let come to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Set a rack on a baking sheet. Fill a large heavy pot halfway with vegetable oil; heat over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
• Whisk the flour, cornstarch, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in 2 cups very cold water to form a light batter. Add the wings to the batter and stir to coat. Lift out the wings one at a time, letting the excess drip back into the bowl.
• Working in batches, fry the wings: Using tongs, lower the wings into the hot oil and hold for a couple of seconds before letting go to seal the coating. Fry until golden and crisp, 8 to 9 minutes. Remove to the prepared baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and keep warm in the oven while you continue. Serve with assorted sauces.

CRISPY BAKED MOROCCAN CHICKEN WINGS WITH YOGURT DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with Reynolds Wrap® Non-Stick Foil. Add the chicken wings to a large bowl, drizzle them with the vegetable oil then toss until the wings are thoroughly coated.
• In a small bowl, stir together the paprika, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, turmeric, salt and pepper. Sprinkle the wings with the spice mixture, tossing until they are coated. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the baking sheet, spacing them apart so that they aren't touching.
• Bake the wings for 40 to 45 minutes until they are cooked through, then transfer them to a serving platter.
• In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, lemon juice, mint, cilantro, honey, salt and pepper. Taste and season the dip with additional salt and pepper as desired. Serve the wings with the yogurt dip.
