Beijing Chicken Wings Recipes

SPICY CHINESE FIVE-SPICE RUBBED CHICKEN WINGS WITH CREAMY CILANTRO DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 500 degrees F.
• If you have whole chicken wings, cut off wingtips and cut the wings in half at the joint. Discard wingtips or freeze to make stock at a later time.
• Place the wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle five-spice powder and cayenne on the wings, add a few pinches of salt and about 15 grinds of black pepper. Rub the mixture into all the wings until no more loose rub remains. Wash your hands.
• Line the wing pieces up on a baking sheet so the side of the wing that has the most skin is facing up. Roast until cooked through, browned and crispy, about 25 minutes. Serve hot with Creamy Cilantro Dipping Sauce.
• Combine ingredients in mixing bowl. Whisk ingredients to incorporate them fully and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

PEKING CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• 1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine thoroughly. Add chicken wings and make sure they are coated well. Cover the bowl with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate 4-24 hours.
• 2. Transfer the chicken wings to the rack of a foil-lined broiler pan, reserving the marinade, and bake them in the middle of a preheated 375 degree oven, turning them every 20 minutes and basting them with the reserved marinade, for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• 3. I have never made them in the slow cooker, but quite honestly, I don't see why you couldn't. I'm not certain what the cooking time would be.
