Aunt Jeans Chicken Wings Recipes

OVEN-BAKED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat with nonstick cooking spray.
• Pat chicken wings dry using paper towels. Season with salt. Place flour in a shallow dish and dredge chicken to lightly coat. Place wings on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and no longer pink in the centers, 40 to 45 minutes.
• While wings are baking, melt butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add hot sauce, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire, honey, garlic powder, and cayenne. Let sauce simmer on low heat until wings are done baking, about 40 minutes.
• Remove wings from the oven and place in a large mixing bowl. Pour sauce over wings; toss until evenly coated. Serve with celery and carrots.

BAKED CHICKEN WINGS - EXTRA CRISPY, LIKE DEEP-FRIED

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.

AIN'T NO THING BUTTA CHICKEN WING

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine all of the spices. Remove and reserve 2 tablespoons of the mixture. Rinse the wings and pat dry. Add the wings to bowl with the spice mixture and stir to coat well. Loosely cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat with direct and indirect heat or preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the grill: Cook the wings over direct heat until they are good and crispy, about 15 to 25 minutes. Turn them over and put them on indirect heat, turning frequently, as needed.
• Oven method: Line a baking sheet with a nonstick wire rack. Arrange the wings on the rack and bake them for 45 to 55 minutes, turning halfway through.
• While the wings are grilling, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, add the olive oil, garlic and jalapeno. Saute for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the reserved 2 tablespoons of the spice mixture and 12 ounces of hot sauce. Bring to a simmer, add the butter, vinegar and lime juice. Hold warm until ready to serve.
• When ready to serve, add the wings to a large serving bowl, pour in the sauce and toss.
