CREOLE CHICKEN WINGS



Creole Chicken Wings image

I am always looking for a different type of chicken wing recipe. The cooling time includes the marinade and dipping sauce prep. The last 5 ingredients are for the dipping sauce starting at the apricot jam or marmalade.

Provided by Ck2plz

Categories     < 4 Hours

Time 1h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 lbs chicken wings, tips removed
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 small shallot, finely diced
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons dried thyme
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon creole seasoning
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 cup apricot jam or 1/2 cup marmalade
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon pimiento, diced
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon red pepper, crushed

Steps:

  • Place the chicken wings onto a baking sheet, lined with aluminum foil.
  • In a small bowl, add the garlic, shallots, mustard, paprika, thyme, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and Creole seasoning. Stir and then add in the lemon juice to create a paste. Using a pastry brush, brush the mixture over the chicken wings. Let the chicken wings absorb the marinade for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  • Bake in a 475F degree oven for 15-20 minutes. Turn the chicken wings over and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until browned and crisp.
  • To make the apricot dipping sauce, melt the apricot jam in a saucepan over low heat. Add in the mustard, pimiento and apple cider vinegar. Serve this as the dipping sauce for the chicken wings.

Tips:

  • Use fresh chicken wings: Fresh chicken wings are more flavorful and tender than frozen wings.
  • Pat the wings dry: This will help the wings crisp up in the oven.
  • Season the wings generously: Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the wings. Some good options include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
  • Bake the wings at a high temperature: This will help the wings get crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
  • Serve the wings with your favorite dipping sauce: Some good options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or barbecue sauce.

Creole and Cajun chicken wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With a little planning and preparation, you can make these wings at home in no time.
