Broiled Hot Pepper Wings Recipes

BROILED CHICKEN WINGS RECIPE

Steps:

• First, prepare the oven for broiling. Position the rack about 10 inches from the broiler heating element. In my electric oven I place it in the fourth position from the top. Take note of the width and depth of the heating element, you will need that in a later step.Set the broiler to high. If you put the wings in while it's preheating they may burn so it's always a good idea to let the oven pre-heat first for about 20 minutes or so.
• Combine all of the ingredients for the rub in a medium bowl. Add the wings and mix well until they are evenly coated all over.
• Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil, then place a cooling rack on top. You don't have to use aluminum foil but if you do, it will save a lot of cleaning time afterwards.
• Dump the wings on the cooling rack and spread around, leaving some space in between the wings, while making sure that the wings will be directly under the heating element.
• Transfer the baking sheet with the wings to the oven and let them broil for 10 minutes on high. Do not open the oven during this time as every time you open the oven you will lose heat and the heating element will be heating and getting very hot which may cause the wings brown too fast.
• After 10 minutes, the wings will have crisped up quite nicely. If not, let the broiled a few minutes more. Otherwise, flip them and continue broiling on high for another 10 minutes, or until the desired level of browning.
• Remove the wings from the oven, transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately. You can serve these wings as is, they are perfectly seasoned, with a dash of freshly squeezed lime juice, or with a dipping sauce, or tossed in your favorite BBQ or hot sauce.

HOT-PEPPER WINGS

Steps:

• Season 3 pounds chicken wings with salt and pepper. Bake at 425 degrees F until golden, about 40 minutes. Melt 4 tablespoons butter with a 2-ounce bottle of green hot sauce. Pour over the wings and bake 15 more minutes. Toss the wings with 1/2 cup each chopped cilantro and scallions. Top with sliced pickled jalapenos.

THAI-STYLE BROILED CHICKEN WINGS WITH HOT-AND-SOUR SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut off the wings tips, reserving them for another use such as stock if desired, and halve the wings at the joint. In a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag toss the wings with the garlic paste and the oil to coat them well and let them marinate, chilled, for at least 6 hours or overnight. Drain the wings and pat them dry. Arrange the wings, skin side up, on the oiled rack of a broiler pan, sprinkle them with salt and pepper to taste, and broil them under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Turn the wings, sprinkle them with salt and pepper to taste, and broil them for 5 to 8 minutes more, or until they are golden. While the wings are broiling, in a saucepan stir together the red pepper flakes, the corn syrup, and the vinegar, bring the liquid to a boil, stirring, and transfer it to a bowl. Serve the wings with the sauce.

DAD'S GRILLED HOT WINGS

Steps:

• Cut wings into sections and discard tips. Season with poultry seasoning salt, garlic salt, and black pepper.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cook wings on the grill, turning occasionally, until skin is golden brown, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove wings from grill; keep grill hot.
• Pour hot sauce into a deep, microwave-safe serving dish; add butter. Heat in a microwave oven until butter is melted, about 1 minute. Stir to combine.
• Dip grilled wings into sauce and return to the hot grill. Cook for 3 minutes. Dip wings in sauce a second time; return to grill and cook 3 to 5 minutes more. Place wings in serving dish with remaining sauce.
