Jeffs Chicken Wings Recipes

SMOKED HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Mix the sugar and salt with 8 cups (2 quarts) water in a large container until dissolved. Add the chicken wings and brine for 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerated.
• Place the wood chips in a smoker box and place the smoker box directly on a burner on the grill, under the grate. Cover, turn the burner under the smoker box to high and heat until the chips start to smoke, 5 to 10 minutes. Once smoking, turn off that burner, turn the other burners to low and heat until the thermometer registers 275 degrees F.
• Dry the chicken pieces with a paper towel and season with cracked black pepper. Add the chicken to the grill over the set burners, close the lid and smoke the wings, maintaining a grill temperature of 250 to 275 degrees F and turning the wings once, until the meat registers 165 to 170 degrees F, about 1 hour. Raise the set burners to medium high and sear both sides of the wings until golden and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Immediately toss the wings with some of the Tangy Honey Mustard BBQ Sauce, then sprinkle with the crushed pretzels to add some crunch and serve!
• Mix together the yellow and stone-ground mustard, vinegar, honey, brown sugar, Worcestershire and granulated garlic. Season with plenty of freshly cracked pepper.

SMOKED WINGS OF PARADISE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir the salt and sugar into 8 cups water until dissolved. Add the chicken wings and let sit at room temperature, 1 hour. Dry off the wings with a paper towel and season with pepper and a bit of the barbecue rub.
• Place the wood chunks directly on the burner of a grill, under the grate. Close the lid and turn all the burners to high until the chunks start to smoke, about 15 minutes.
• Turn off all the other burners except the primary burner with the wood chunks. Using a rib rack, suspend the wings on the cooler side of the grill. Close and smoke the wings, maintaining a temperature of 250 to 275 degrees F, until the meat registers 165 to 170 degrees F, about 1 hour. Serve immediately.

PALOMA CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Coat wings in chile lime seasoning and baking powder, then sprinkle with salt. Place on a wire rack set in a sheet pan. Place in fridge 8 hours or up to overnight, uncovered, to air out for crispier skin.
• Place grapefruit juice, tequila, lime juice and agave in a small pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until thick and syrupy, 10 to 15 minutes. Take off heat and whisk in butter until melted. Season to taste.
• Preheat one half of a grill to low heat and the other half to high heat. Grill wings on the low side, covered, turning every few minutes, until slightly golden, about 20 minutes. Move to hot side of the grill and let cook, turning frequently, until golden brown and crispy, about 10 minutes more. Mix with warm sauce, garnish with sesame seeds and cilantro leaves and serve immediately with lime wedges alongside.

JERK GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Mix together the orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, salt, black pepper, thyme, garlic, ginger, habanero pepper, curry powder, allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a bowl. Whisk in the vegetable oil. Pour 3/4 of the marinade into a resealable plastic zipper bag, and place the chicken wing pieces into the bag. Squeeze out any air, and mix the wing pieces with the marinade, and refrigerate from 4 to 12 hours. Place the remaining 1/4 of the marinade in a small bowl, and refrigerate until grilling time.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the wing pieces from the bag of marinade, and discard the used marinade. Sprinkle the wings with salt and pepper to taste, and sear on the hottest part of the grill until the wings begin to brown, about 4 minutes per side.
• Move the wings to a less-hot part of the grill, baste with the unused portion of the marinade, and close the grill. Grill until the wings are golden brown, show good grill marks, are no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, 10 to 15 more minutes. Baste again with marinade and turn after 5 to 8 minutes.

AMAZING AND EASY CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Mix brown sugar, mustard, and soy sauce together in a bowl. Measure 1/4 cup marinade for basting and transfer to a small bowl; cover and refrigerate.
• Place wings in a large resealable bag. Pour remaining marinade over wings, coating well. Seal and marinate wings at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Remove chicken wings from resealable bag and transfer to a baking sheet. Discard marinade.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Baste wings with reserved 1/4 cup marinade; cook, basting every 10 minutes, until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 30 more minutes.

JERK CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• In a food processor, pulse scallions, garlic, bay leaves, habanero, vinegar, thyme, allspice, 1 tablespoon salt, and 2 tablespoons pepper until coarsely ground. In a large shallow dish, toss chicken with jerk mixture and refrigerate at least 1 hour (or up to 1 day).
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Arrange chicken on foil-lined rimmed baking sheets and cook until browned, 35 to 40 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Serve with lime wedges.

MARINATED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Butterfly the chicken breasts using a sharp knife, then lightly pound to an even thickness.
• In a large glass bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, canola oil, chile-garlic paste, scallion whites, sesame oil and ginger until combined. Add the chicken and turn to coat in the marinade. Cover and let marinade in the refrigerator for at least 2 or up to 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Use paper towels to dab off some of the marinade.
• Brush the grill with canola oil, then grill the chicken until fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a platter and garnish with the scallion greens and sesame seeds. Serve.

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!

JERK CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Put yellow onion, green onions, garlic, habanero peppers, fresh thyme, kosher salt, black pepper, allspice, dried thyme, cinnamon, cumin, nutmeg, vegetable oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice, respectively, in a blender and blend until marinade is completely smooth.
• Place chicken in a large bowl. Pour marinade over chicken and toss to coat completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
• Place chicken drumettes on prepared baking sheet and reserve marinade left in the bowl.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
• Brush 1/2 the reserved marinade onto chicken and turn wings over. Bake for 15 minutes.
• Turn chicken and brush on remaining 1/2 the reserved marinade. Bake until tender and caramelized, 10 to 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Rest wings on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a serving platter.

JERK CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Cut 3 pounds of chicken wings into 3 sections; save the wing tips for stock. Toss the wings with a little neutral oil to keep them from sticking.
• Heat a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat. Leave one side of the grill cooler for indirect cooking.
• Put the wings on the cool side of the grill. Cover the grill and cook, checking and turning once or twice, until most of the fat has been rendered and the wings are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While the wings cook, combine 4 roughly chopped scallions, 1 peeled shallot, 1/2 habanero or Scotch bonnet chili, 1/2-inch peeled fresh ginger, 2 garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 1 tablespoon allspice berries, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, salt and pepper in a food processor or blender. Blend or process into a paste.
• When the wings are cooked, put them in a large bowl with the sauce, and toss to coat. Now put the wings on the hot part of the grill, and cook, uncovered, turning as necessary, until they're nicely browned on both sides.

JEFF'S CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Place saucepan on stove. Add the dry ingredients. Mix together with a fork. Add wet ingredients. Use a spoon to mix all together. Heat on med., until the sauce starts to turn a darker red, and all of the sugar is dissolved.
• Wings can be fried, or baked.(I put wings in a larger baking pan with rather large sides, to keep from making a mess).
• Fry or bake until crisp. Fryer at 375°F, or oven on broil. When they are done in the fryer, they should be floating on the surface. Keep an eye on the ones in the oven, and turn them over when crisp on top.(usually 10-15 min.).
• Remove from the pan, or fryer, and drain juices. Put wings in a small container, add sauce,cover and shake. If you don't have a container, use a bowl, or put them on the plate, and cover with the sauce. Don't be skimpy with it either.
• Serve them with blue cheese dressing, or dressing of your choice, and don't forget the accompanying rabbit food. (so your mouth can take a break, and cool down).
• ENJOY!
