Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups (720 milliliters) Thai sweet chile sauce
3/4 cup (120 milliliters) sriracha, or more if you prefer it spicier
12 whole chicken wings, cut in half at the joint, with tips discarded or saved for stock

Steps:

Working in 3 batches, fry the wings until cooked through and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes, turning them occasionally. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees F.

SPICY CITRUS CARAMEL CHICKEN WINGS



Spicy Citrus Caramel Chicken Wings image

This recipe for spicy citrus caramel chicken wings is courtesy of Martha's personal chef, Pierre Schaedelin.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 pounds chicken wings, wing tips removed and cut at the joint, if necessary
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons coarse salt
Zest of 1 lime
Zest of 1 lemon
3 blood oranges
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup freshly squeezed blood orange juice
3 tablespoons corn syrup
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger
1 to 2 teaspoons Sriracha
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • In a large bowl, toss chicken together with olive oil, salt, and half of the lime and lemon zests. Spread in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to oven and roast until golden brown, draining fat and shaking pan occasionally, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, slice the top and bottom of oranges with a paring knife. Set one of the flat sides on your work surface. From top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit, cut away peel and white pith. Trim off any remaining pith. Holding the oranges over a bowl, cut along both sides of each segment, staying close to the membrane, to release. Chop oranges and place in a fine mesh sieve in a bowl, to drain, pressing down on oranges to release juice as necessary; set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan heat sugar and 1 teaspoon water over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally and brushing down the sides of the saucepan with a damp pastry brush, until the sugar dissolves and comes to a boil. Cook until mixture becomes golden amber in color; remove from heat and add orange juice. Return mixture to heat and cook until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Stir in corn syrup and continue cooking until thickened, about 1 minute more. Add orange pieces and cook until liquid is reduced and mixture is thick, about 3 minutes; remove from heat.
  • Remove chicken from oven and transfer to a large bowl. Pour over citrus glaze and toss to coat. Stir in remaining lime and lemon zest, ginger, Sriracha, and cayenne pepper; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • To make sure the chicken wings are evenly coated in the marinade, use a large bowl or resealable bag and make sure the chicken is completely submerged.
  • Don't overcrowd the chicken wings in the air fryer basket. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking to ensure that the chicken wings are evenly browned.
  • If you don't have an air fryer, you can bake the chicken wings in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken wings with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Martha's Spicy Sweet Chicken Wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The chicken wings are marinated in a flavorful blend of spices and then cooked to perfection in an air fryer. The result is crispy, juicy chicken wings that are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. Whether you're hosting a party or just looking for a tasty weeknight meal, Martha's Spicy Sweet Chicken Wings are a great choice.
