Chicken wings no matter how you cook them up
are always a hit at a party. The three ways
to make them are deep fried, baked, or
grilled.
It’s best and cheapest to by whole chicken
wings. Cost is depended of the area you live
and the store you go to but on average they
should be around $2 bucks a pound.
You can also buy the frozen chicken wings
for about $10 which nets you about 40 wings.
Please de-thaw them before you drop them
into a deep fryer and burn you house down.
For best tasting wings you season them after
you cook them. I just put the sauce in a big
stainless steal bowl and put the hot cooked
chicken wings in and toss them around till
they are coated well.
So here is how to cook them using the three
methods
First there is BAKING
Heat your oven to 400 degrees before you put
them in. Make clean up easy and cover your
baking sheet with foil and place a rack on
the baking sheet. Use a cooking spray to
coat the rack so that you don’t have to
serve chicken pieces.
Put the wings on the rack and bake until
wings are done should take about 50 to 60
minutes. You can put them under a broiler
for a few minutes to crisp the skin further.
Be very careful here because they will dry
up and burn real fast.
This is by far the easiest and healthiest
way to make them.
Deep FRYING
Warning do not end up on YouTube burning
your house down be careful. On second
thought just bake them I don’t want to be
responsible for you ending up on YouTube.
GRILLING is good
I like to brine my turkeys and chickens over
night if I’m grilling them. So mix up 1cup
of kosher salt and 1 cup of sugar and toss
them in and refrigerate overnight. When you
take them out make sure that you rinse under
cold water and pat dry.
Oil the grill. Oil the grill. Oil the grill.
And did I mention that you should Oil the
grill.
If you don’t want to be picking pieces off
the grill, Oil the
grill.
I can’t tell you how many times people ask
me how do I keep my meat from sticking to
the grill and you know what I say? ”Oil the
grill”.
Ok now that we have oiled the grill put the
chicken wings skin side down on the “OILED”
grill. When the wings have those nice grill
marks on them and are easy to pull away from
the grates, about 5 minutes. Turn them over
and continue grilling another 15 to 20
minutes.
Coat the chicken wings in your favorite
sauce as I described above. I use a large
stainless steel bowl with just enough sauce
to coat them evenly. Chicken wings do not
know how to swim.
