Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 wings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups root beer
2/3 cup ketchup
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp (not minced)
One 2-inch piece fresh ginger, cut into 1/4-inch discs
1 ghost pepper or habanero pepper, pierced with the tip of a knife
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 chicken wings, tips intact and not trimmed
Peanut or vegetable oil, to fry
2 lime wedges, for garnish
2 to 3 tablespoons black sesame seeds, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the glaze: In a pot on medium-high heat, add the root beer, ketchup, sugar, lime juice, garlic and ginger. Whisk together until the mixture begins to boil and the ketchup and sugar are dissolved into the root beer. Lower to a simmer and when it begins to reduce in volume and thicken, turn off the heat and add the pepper. Allow to steep in the residual heat for 10 minutes, then discard the pepper and stir the glaze.
  • For the wings: In a large paper bag, add the flour, cornstarch, a nice pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Crimp it shut and gently toss it to mix the contents. In batches, add a few wings and toss them from side to side to fully coat. Remove to a wire rack and allow to rest until the flour soaks into the skin, about 15 minutes. Repeat the process for 2 dry coats. After the second resting period, the wings are ready to fry.
  • In a deep fryer or deep heavy pot, add enough oil to fill to about 4 inches. Heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Add the wings in batches to keep the temperature and fry each batch 12 minutes. Remove the wings to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle immediately with a pinch of salt.
  • In batches, add a bit of the glaze to a large bowl and a few wings, then toss them to coat. Remove the wings to a platter, top with a spritz of lime and a sprinkle of sesame seeds and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, use a whole chicken or chicken pieces with the skin on. The skin will help the glaze stick and add flavor to the chicken.
  • Make sure the chicken is dry: Pat the chicken dry with paper towels before cooking. This will help the glaze adhere better.
  • Use a good quality root beer: The flavor of the glaze will depend on the quality of the root beer you use. Choose a root beer that you enjoy drinking.
  • Simmer the glaze: Bring the glaze to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly. This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Baste the chicken: Baste the chicken with the glaze every 15-20 minutes while it is cooking. This will help to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
  • Let the chicken rest: Let the chicken rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in more tender and flavorful meat.

Conclusion:

Root beer glazed chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy flavor, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. Whether you are grilling, baking, or frying your chicken, this glaze is a great way to add extra flavor and moisture.
