Celestial Chicken Wings Recipes

CRISPY OVEN-FRIED M-80 CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• For the chicken: Put the chicken in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the baking powder and salt over the wings and toss until the wings are coated.
• Fit a sheet pan with a wire rack and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack. Leave uncovered in the fridge overnight. (This ensures super crispy skin.)
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Set a rack in a lower-middle position in the oven. Bake the wings until golden brown and crispy, rotating halfway through cooking, 45 to 50 minutes.
• For the sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, sambal, soy sauce, vinegar and butter. Stir in the giardiniera. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
• Toss the hot wings with the M-80 Sauce until evenly coated. Spread out on a long dish, so there is not a lot of overlap. Top with the poppy seeds!

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• For the wings: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and brush the foil with the oil.
• Pat the wings dry with paper towels, then sprinkle with the baking powder and toss to evenly coat in a large mixing bowl. Spread the wings evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, crispy and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• For the dry rub: Combine the brown sugar, salt, black pepper, granulated sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne and celery seeds in a small bowl.
• Remove the wings from the oven and add to another large mixing bowl. Season well with some of the rub, and then toss to coat. (Reserve the remaining rub for another use.) Serve immediately.
