Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon butcher's grind cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon Hungarian paprika
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2 teaspoons onion powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Pinch of celery seeds

Steps:

  • For the wings: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and brush the foil with the oil.
  • Pat the wings dry with paper towels, then sprinkle with the baking powder and toss to evenly coat in a large mixing bowl. Spread the wings evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, crispy and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • For the dry rub: Combine the brown sugar, salt, black pepper, granulated sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne and celery seeds in a small bowl.
  • Remove the wings from the oven and add to another large mixing bowl. Season well with some of the rub, and then toss to coat. (Reserve the remaining rub for another use.) Serve immediately.

This is an actual recipe from a former employee of a popular drive-in restaurant. Crispy coated onion rings like the pro's make!

Provided by JeanieMomof3

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Onion

Time 18m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup milk, or as needed
¾ cup dry bread crumbs
seasoned salt to taste
1 quart oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
  • Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside. Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping. The wire rack may be placed over a sheet of aluminum foil for easier clean up. Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the ring to coat. Give it a hard tap as you remove it from the crumbs. The coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.
  • Deep fry the rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with seasoning salt, and serve.

Baked Chicken Wings - Extra Crispy, Like Deep-Fried image

A recipe for the best baked chicken wings that are extra crispy on the outside and very tender and most on the inside.

Provided by Victor

Categories     Dinner     lunch

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs chicken wings ((tips removed, separated into wingettes and drumettes))
1 Tbsp BAKING POWDER ((whatever you do, do NOT use baking soda))
1 tsp kosher salt ((plus more to taste))
1 Tbsp butter ((melted))
1/3 cup hot wing sauce ((e.g. Duff's hot sauce))

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450F.
  • Dry chicken with a paper towel really well. Place the wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle baking powder over the wings. Toss until all wings are evenly covered in baking powder. Better yet, mix by hand to ensure even coverage.
  • Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a cooling rack (see note) on top and spray with Pam or rub with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
  • Lay the chicken wings on the rack, leaving space between the wings.
  • Place the baking sheet in the oven. Turn the heat down to 425F and set the mode to convection.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the wings are nicely browned and crisp.
  • Let the wings rest for 5 minutes. This will preserve crispiness of the skin.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the Buffalo wing sauce by combining the butter and the hot wing sauce in a small bowl.
  • Season the wings with salt and whatever other seasonings you like. Toss with the Buffalo sauce or serve with the sauce on the side.

CRISPY ONION RINGS



Crispy Onion Rings image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield about 4 to 6 side dish serving

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large Spanish onions, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick pieces
Whole milk, as needed
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons fine salt, plus more for sprinkling
2 teaspoons chili powder (optional)
1 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
2 lager-style beers (12-ounces each)
Vegetable oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Put the onions in a large bowl and cover with milk. Let soak for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, using a fine-sieve over a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, chili powder, and cumin, if using. Stir in the beer until a smooth batter is formed. Set aside.
  • Drain the onions and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Blot the onions with paper towels until dry.
  • In a large, wide heavy-bottomed pot, pour in the oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Place over medium heat and heat to 400 degrees F. (The oil must be heated to 400 degrees F. since the temperature drops oil to about 375 degrees F. when the onions are added.)
  • Working in batches, transfer about 8 to 10 of the onions to the batter and mix to coat well. Using tongs, pull several of the onions out of the batter, and let any excess batter fall back into the bowl. Carefully add to the oil and fry, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 1/2 minutes per batch. Using the tongs, transfer to a dry paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Repeat with the remaining onions. Serve immediately.

STICKY ONION CRUNCH WINGS

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds chicken wings, whole or separated
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Peanut or vegetable oil, for frying
1/2 cup French-fried onions (I like French's), crushed
1 cup hoisin sauce
1/2 cup pomegranate juice
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 garlic cloves, grated or minced
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
4 scallions (white and green parts), finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the wings on a baking sheet and season both sides with salt and pepper. Let stand at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
  • To make the sauce, in a small saucepan, mix together the hoisin, pomegranate juice, brown sugar, garlic, horseradish, scallions, and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring, over medium-high heat. When the sauce starts to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 20 minutes. Taste and season with salt.
  • In a deep heavy pot, Dutch oven, or deep fryer, fill with oil to a depth of about 6 inches, and heat to 360 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the wings; the oil temperature will settle at about 350 degrees ¿ try to maintain that temperature by adjusting the heat while you fry. Fry the wings until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • Put some of the sauce in a large mixing bowl and toss the wings in batches, adding more sauce as needed, until completely coated. Put the onions into another large bowl, add the sauced wings in batches and toss to thoroughly coat. Serve warm.

CHICKEN WINGS WITH ONION



Chicken Wings With Onion image

This is a fun wing recipe that's easy to make. This is best served with rice as there's a lot of sauce. I suggest using a large non-stick pan or wok (I have a non-stick wok that's perfect for this). This is another recipe from my old copy of More Long-Life Chinese Cooking from Madame Wong.

2 large onions, sliced
1 tablespoon sherry wine
1 cup chicken stock
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch, dissolved in
1 tablespoon water

  • Mix wings with 1 T. soy sauce. Let stand for at least 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose medium sized onions: Smaller onions will cook too quickly and don't hold the sauce as well, while larger ones may take longer to cook and may not get as crispy.
  • Use a sharp knife: When cutting the onions, use a sharp knife to make clean, even cuts. This will help the onions cook evenly and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Soak the onions in buttermilk: Soaking the onions in buttermilk tenderizes them and helps them to absorb the flavors of the breading.
  • Use a light touch when breading the onions: Gently coat the onions in the breading to avoid making the coating too thick. A thick coating will make the onions less crispy.
  • Fry the onions in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough to sizzle when the onions are added. This will help the onions to cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the onions, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and may cause them to steam instead of fry.
  • Serve immediately: Crispy onion wings are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but they will not be as crispy.

Conclusion:

Crispy onion wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or game day gatherings. With a few simple tips, you can make crispy onion wings that are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a tasty and fun snack, give crispy onion wings a try!
