Game Day Asian Chicken Wings Recipes

STICKY AND CRISPY ASIAN CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 120C/250F and place a rack on a large baking tray.
• Cut each wing at the joint so you have a mini wing and a drumette. Dry the wings with paper towels, then place in a large bowl and add the baking powder, salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Note - it's important to dry the wings first so they only get a light coating. Discard any remaining coating once tossed together.
• Place in a single layer on the rack, skin side up. It's fine for them to be touching. Place on the lower shelf of the oven for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, turn the oven up to 220c (425f), rotate the tray and place on a higher shelf (higher middle) in the oven for 45-50 minutes until the wings are golden and crispy. Take out of the oven to cool slightly.
• Place all of the sauce ingredients into a saucepan, stir and bring to the boil. Allow to bubble for 5-10 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly (it will thicken more as it cools). Turn off the heat.
• Place the wings in a large bowl and very carefully pour over the sticky sauce (be careful, it will VERY hot). Toss to combine, then serve topped with chopped spring onions.

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and top with a baking rack (preferably one that hangs over the rims).
• Trim the chicken by separating the drummette from the flat wingette and discard the tips.
• Toss the chicken in a large bowl with a generous drizzle of olive oil then place the chicken wings on the baking sheet and sprinkle with the kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
• Bake for 40-50 minutes or until golden and crispy. Toss with your favorite sauce (see ideas and recipes in post above).
