Provided by Lauren Allen

Categories     Appetizer

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 pounds chicken wings (, halved at joints, wingtips discarded)
2 Tablespoons baking powder (*aluminum free)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cracker black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/3 cup Frank's Wings Hot Sauce
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
1 Tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Adjust your oven rack to the upper-middle position. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack (I use a cooling rack) on top. Spray the rack with non-stick spray.
  • Use paper towels to pat the wings dry and place them in a large bowl. It's important to dry them REALLY well!
  • Combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder in a small bowl. Then sprinkle the seasoning over the wings, tossing to evenly coat.
  • Arrange wings, skin side up, in single layer on prepared wire rack.
  • Bake on the upper middle oven rack, turning every 20 minutes until wings are crispy and browned. The total cook time will depend on the size of the wings but may take up to 1 hour.
  • Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Transfer wings to bowl and toss with sauce.

THE BEST CHICKEN WINGS

This recipe receives raves every time I serve it! The sauce will be a small quantity and very thick. Don't let that scare you! Baking or grilling the chicken is also an option instead of frying.

Number Of Ingredients 8

vegetable oil for frying
2 pounds chicken wing pieces
¼ cup margarine, melted
¼ cup hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot ®)

1 (1 ounce) envelope dry onion soup mix
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 pinch dried basil

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose the right wings: Look for plump, meaty wings with no signs of damage or bruising. If you can, choose organic or free-range wings for the best flavor and quality.
  • Pat the wings dry: Before cooking, pat the wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the wings crisp up in the oven or on the grill.
  • Season the wings generously: Don't be afraid to season the wings liberally with your favorite spices and herbs. A good starting point is a mixture of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add a bit of smoked paprika, cumin, or chili powder for a more flavorful kick.
  • Cook the wings until they are cooked through: The best way to ensure the wings are cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the wing and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the wings rest before serving: Once the wings are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the wings more tender.

Conclusion:

Chicken wings are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you prefer them fried, baked, or grilled, there is a recipe out there to suit your taste. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give one of these chicken wing recipes a try. You won't be disappointed!
