Recipe Introduction
These spicy-sweet wings are similar to Buffalo wings, but not as messy
to
make. Serve them with traditional celery and carrot sticks, and blue
cheese
dressing for dipping.
List of Ingredients
For the Chicken and Brine-
Prepare:
5 lb. chicken wings, tips removed
Dissolve:
2 cups boiling water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup kosher salt
Add to Bag:
6 cups ice water
Prepared chicken wings
For the Sauce-
Whisk Together:
1/2 cup clover honey
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
2 T. prepared yellow mustard
2 t. cayenne
2 t. kosher salt
1 t. freshly ground black pepper
1 t. garlic, minced
1/2 t. dried thyme
1/2 t. dried oregano
1/4 t. dried ground ginger
Recipe
Prepare wings by first cutting off the tips (discard or save for
stock).
Dissolve boiling water, sugar, and salt in a 2-gallon resealable
plastic
bag.
Add ice water to cool, then the wings. Seal bag and chill at least one
hour,
or up to 12 hours.
Whisk together all sauce ingredients. When ready to prepare wings,
preheat
oven to 450° and line two baking sheets with double layers of parchment
paper. Place sauce in a large saute pan and bring to a simmer over
medium-high heat. Remove wings from brine, add them to the sauce, and
simmer
for 20 minutes, turning wings often to coat with sauce. Transfer
chicken to
prepared baking sheets (do not crowd the pans or wings will not brown
as
well) and roast for 10 minutes. Brush wings with some of the remaining
sauce
left in the saute pan, and roast 10 more minutes. Brush again with
sauce and
any accumulated pan juices; roast another 5 minutes. Remove from pans
while
hot or wings will stick.
