Celestial Chicken Wings Recipes

TRULY CRISPY OVEN BAKED BUFFALO WINGS

Steps:

• If you plan ahead, lay the wings on a rack on a rimmed baking tray and let them dry uncovered in the fridge overnight. Alternatively, pat them dry with paper towels.
• Preheat the oven to 250°F/120°C (all oven types). Put one oven shelf in the lower quarter of the oven and one in the top quarter.
• Line the tray with foil. Spray the rack on the baking tray with oil.
• Place the wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle over baking powder and salt. Use hands to toss well (or shake in ziplock bag) to coat wings evenly.
• Place the wings skin side up on the rack (ok if snug, they shrink). Bake on the lower shelf in the oven for 30 minutes.
• Then move the tray up to the higher shelf and turn the oven up to 425°F / 220°C. Bake for a further 40 to 50 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through. The wings do not need to be turned over.
• The wings are ready when they are dark golden brown and the skin is very crispy.
• Toss with Hot Sauce and serve immediately with Blue Cheese Dip and celery sticks. They can be served plain, with a dipping sauce or tossed in sauce. Wings also reheat crispy!
• Whisk together the Sauce ingredients. Keep warm or reheat just prior to using.
• Mash the blue cheese with sour cream until smooth (or to your taste).
• Add remaining ingredients and mix well until combined, using milk to get it to the consistency you want.
• Store in the fridge until required. Remove from the fridge 15 minutes before serving.

BAKED CHICKEN WINGS - EXTRA CRISPY, LIKE DEEP-FRIED

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450F.
• Dry chicken with a paper towel really well. Place the wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle baking powder over the wings. Toss until all wings are evenly covered in baking powder. Better yet, mix by hand to ensure even coverage.
• Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a cooling rack (see note) on top and spray with Pam or rub with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
• Lay the chicken wings on the rack, leaving space between the wings.
• Place the baking sheet in the oven. Turn the heat down to 425F and set the mode to convection.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the wings are nicely browned and crisp.
• Let the wings rest for 5 minutes. This will preserve crispiness of the skin.
• Meanwhile, prepare the Buffalo wing sauce by combining the butter and the hot wing sauce in a small bowl.
• Season the wings with salt and whatever other seasonings you like. Toss with the Buffalo sauce or serve with the sauce on the side.
