I had some chicken wings in my freezer and I was wondering what to do with them. I have already posted here two excellent recipes with chicken wings, Classic Hot wings and Caramelized chicken wings, so I didn't want to try the same thing. I came across so many recipes, which asked for first frying the wings and then baking them with the sauce. I didn't want to do the frying part, because as it is, the wings are very fatty and frying them again in oil was a BIG NO for me. Thats when I came across this recipe which is totally oven baked and at the same time very crispy too. The skin is so crisply that its hard to believe that the wings aren't deep fried. This recipe also calls for tossing the wings in baking powder, which makes the skin crisp as the moisture is drawn to the surface of the skin. The recipe also asks us to bake the wings at low temperature first, which helps in melting the fat under the skin, which means less calories !!! Yes, thats exactly what I wanted , tasty food, less calories and easy to make.
Ingredients
10-15 wings
2 tablespoon baking powder
Salt - to taste
Pepper - to taste
To make the sauce
4 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 cup Frank's Original Red Hot sauce
1-2 tablespoon brown sugar.
1) Wash the wings and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
2) Preheat oven to 250 degree F / 120 degree C .
3) Toss them in a ziplock bag with the baking powder, salt and pepper.
4) Spread them in a layer on the baking tray sprayed with some oil. Bake them for 30 minutes on the lower rack of the oven.
5) Turn the oven temperature up to 425 degree F / 220 degree C. Bake them for 40-50 minutes on the higher rack, Rotate the tray halfway through, no need to turn the wings.
6) When they are golden brown and the skin is crispy, they are done. Take them out of the oven and toss the sauce over it. Enjoy it with some Blue Cheese Dip and celery !!!
Blue Cheese Dip
1 cup mayo
3/4 cup sour cream
1 heaping cup blue cheese crumbles
5-6 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
Salt and Black pepper to taste
Whisk together everything till you get a nice creamy consistency.
