Janettes Chicken Wings Recipes

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Adjust your oven rack to the upper-middle position. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack (I use a cooling rack) on top. Spray the rack with non-stick spray.
• Use paper towels to pat the wings dry and place them in a large bowl. It's important to dry them REALLY well!
• Combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and baking powder in a small bowl. Then sprinkle the seasoning over the wings, tossing to evenly coat.
• Arrange wings, skin side up, in single layer on prepared wire rack.
• Bake on the upper middle oven rack, turning every 20 minutes until wings are crispy and browned. The total cook time will depend on the size of the wings but may take up to 1 hour.
• Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Transfer wings to bowl and toss with sauce.

ROASTED ASIAN CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with 1-inch sides with aluminum foil.
• In a large bowl, season the chicken wings with the Essence, salt and pepper, tossing to coat well. Spread the seasoned wings in the prepared roasting pan evenly and bake until browned, about 35 minutes.
• While the wings are baking, in a large skillet, combine the remaining ingredients set over medium-high heat, except the sesame seeds and green onions. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the liquid has reduced to a syrup, 7 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm until ready to use.
• Remove the wings from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Place the wings in a large, heat-proof bowl. Drizzle half the prepared sauce over the wings, reserving the other half, tossing to coat well. Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the wings and toss again. Place a wire cooling rack inside a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and arrange the coated wings on top of the rack. Return the pan to the oven and bake an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until cooked through and crispy.
• Arrange the wings on a large serving platter and top with sliced green onions. Serve immediately with the remaining sauce passed on the side for dipping.

TORCH WINGS

Steps:

• Rinse wings with cool water in a colander. Shake until not dripping. Place wings in a mixing bowl. Add paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, cumin and meat tenderizer and gently mix the wings together. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Transfer wings to a baking pan. Cover wings with lard and pack them, then wrap tightly with aluminum foil. Roast wings until tender but not mushy, 1 hour 45 minutes. Remove wings from pan using a slotted spoon, then gently shake dry and place on a sheet tray. Transfer to the fridge to cool. Wings can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Heat a pot of vegetable oil on the stove to 350 degrees F.
• Gently drop wings in oil and cook until crispy, about 4 minutes. Serve warm tossed in Torch Sauce.
• Place pineapple juice, brown sugar, honey, lemon juice, salt and garlic in a medium pot. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and reduce by a third, about 30 minutes. Mix cornstarch and 2/3 cup cool water in a separate bowl. Add mixture to pot and turn up heat, whisking continuously, until boiling. Take off heat and place in the fridge to cool until completely chilled, then whisk in ghost pepper powder. Torch sauce may be kept for up to 7 days, refrigerated.

GOCHUJANG CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• For the wings: Season the wings with the salt and pepper and place in the air-fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 400 degrees F for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, for the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the gochujang, mayonnaise, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, sugar, agave and a pinch of salt; set aside.
• As you near the 20-minute mark, use a meat thermometer to check the meat. When the wings reach 160 degrees F, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour about half the sauce on the wings; toss to coat (serve the remaining sauce as a dip).
• Return the wings to the air-fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes, until the sauce has glazed.
• Transfer the wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and scallions. Serve with the reserved sauce on the side for dipping.

BOMBAY CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Combine chicken wings, vegetable oil, soy sauce, green onion, garlic, curry powder, turmeric, and black pepper in a resealable plastic bag. Squeeze out the air, seal bag, and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Spread chicken wings into a large baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until wings are browned, about 25 minutes.

HONEY-GINGER CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, lime juice and zest, tamari, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, scallions, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Reserve 3/4 cup of the marinade for later use. Pour the remaining marinade into a 2-gallon ziptop bag. Add the chicken and seal the bag, pressing out as much air as possible; massage to distribute the marinade. Marinate, refrigerated, for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
• Remove the chicken wings from the refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Put the wings skin-side down on the baking sheet and spoon the marinade from the bag over the wings. Cook for 20 minutes, then flip the wings, baste with the pan drippings, rotate the pan and cook until the honey has caramelized and the skin is a dark amber, an additional 20 to 25 minutes.
• Pour the reserved 3/4 cup marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until the liquid is thick and syrupy and turns into a glaze, about 4 minutes. Coat the wings with the thickened marinade. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with lime zest.

KOREAN CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the chicken wings on a baking sheet and cook in the oven for 35 minutes.
• In a medium saute pan over medium heat, add the 2 tablespoons of canola oil and the ginger. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the sherry, vinegar, sesame oil, honey, and soy sauce and chili garlic sauce and continue to cook for 2 more minutes. Remove from heat.
• In large sauce pot or fryer, heat 3-inches of the canola oil, or enough to prevent wings from touching the bottom of the pan, to 350 degrees F. Add the chicken wings to the oil and cook for about 3 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Remove the chicken wings from the oil and drain on paper towels.
• Add the wings to the sauce. Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds.

SMOKED JUMBO CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat a smoker to 310 degrees F.
• Stir together the chili powder, paprika, garlic powder, dried parsley, pepper, rosemary, sage, onion powder and salt in a bowl.
• Coat the wings in the rub (save the remainder for another use). Place in the smoker until wings reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Deep-fry wings for 2 to 3 minutes. This makes them crispy on the outside and juicy inside.
• Generously toss wings in Soy Ginger Sauce. Serve Ranch dressing or Alabama sauce on the side to cool the heat from the chiles.
• Blend soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, garlic and fresh ginger in a food processor. Continue to process, slowly adding olive oil until smooth. Add peppers last, then mix.

JANETTE'S CHICKEN PARMESAN VEGETABLE ROLL-UPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, zucchini, broccoli, red pepper, and basil. Set aside.
• Put the chicken breasts in a large plastic bag and pound until very thin and of even thickness. Remove chicken from bag. Spoon a dollop of the ricotta mixture near the bottom edge of 1 piece of chicken and roll it into a cylinder, around the filling, like a jelly roll. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Put the bread crumbs on a plate. Season the egg whites with salt and pepper. Heat the wine and olive oil in a large nonstick skillet. Dip the chicken roll-ups in the egg whites and then coat with bread crumbs. Place the roll-ups in the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 10 minutes.
• Spread the tomato sauce in a shallow baking dish and place the chicken roll-ups over the sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake for 30 minutes.
• Divide the roll-ups among 4 plates, spooning some sauce over the top. Sprinkle with diced tomato and serve immediately.
