Spicy Chicken Wings With Gorgonzola Cilantro Dressing Recipes

SPICY CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken wings under cold running water, then drain and blot dry completely with paper towels. Place the wings in a large bowl and sprinkle with the garlic salt, pepper, cayenne, and oregano. Season just 1 side of the wings for mild, or for hotter wings, turn the wings to coat the other side with seasonings and then cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high.
• Grill chicken wings, turning once, until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Serve immediately with a side of Blue Cheese Dressing.
• Blend all ingredients together in a food processor. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

CILANTRO LIME CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons olive oil, lime zest, chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine chicken and cilantro mixture; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight, turning the bag occasionally. Drain the chicken from the marinade. Preheat grill to medium heat. Brush chicken with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add chicken to grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 12 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes. In a large bowl, combine chicken, remaining 1/4 cup cilantro and remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice. Serve immediately.

SPICY LACQUERED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Rinse the wings, pat dry, season lightly with salt and put them in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice wine, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, five-spice powder, cayenne and orange zest, then pour over the wings and massage well. Let marinate for 1 hour at room temperature or refrigerate (overnight is fine) and bring to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Arrange the wings in one layer in a low-sided baking dish or roasting pan (or use 2 pans) and place on middle shelf. Every 8 to 10 minutes, brush the wings with the marinade from the pan, adding 3 or 4 tablespoons water to dissolve the juices as necessary. Continue until well browned, glazed and cooked through, about 40 to 45 minutes. The wings may be cooked ahead and reheated if desired.
• Pile the wings on a warm platter. Quickly assemble the garnish. In a small bowl combine the cucumber, scallions, chiles, crushed peanuts and sesame oil. Season with salt, toss lightly and scatter over the wings. Sprinkle with the cilantro. Surround with orange slices and serve.

HONEY, CILANTRO AND SRIRACHA BAKED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a wide shallow bowl, whisk together the rice flour, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper.
• Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Coat each piece evenly in the spice mixture and place it on the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least an inch between each piece. Bake the chicken wings until golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the butter, honey, Sriracha, brown sugar, fish sauce, garlic and cilantro in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook, whisking occasionally, until the sugar dissolves, 3 to 4 minutes, then immediately remove from the heat.
• Transfer the wings to a large bowl. Drizzle the warm butter mixture over the baked chicken wings and gently toss with tongs. Serve and enjoy!

TERIYAKI CHICKEN WINGS WITH SESAME AND CILANTRO

Steps:

• Prepare the teriyaki sauce by combining the soy sauce, grapefruit juice, hoisin sauce, ketchup, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, chiles, garlic, and ginger in a pot. Bring to a slow boil and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Season the chicken wings generously with salt and pepper. Lay the chicken wings in a single layer on a sheet pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until the skin gets crispy. With tongs, dip the wings in the teriyaki sauce and return to the oven for 10 to 15 minutes to glaze. An impressive presentation is to serve these chicken wings family style; arrange them on a large platter, pour the remaining sauce over them and sprinkle with sesame seeds and cilantro. Don't forget the wet naps!

BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Cut the chicken wings in thirds, cutting between the bones. Discard the wing tips. Melt the butter and add the cayenne, hot sauce, and salt. Put the wings on a sheet pan and brush them with the melted butter. Broil them about 3 inches below the heat for 8 minutes. Turn the wings, brush them again with the butter, and broil for 4 more minutes or until cooked.
• For the sauce, place the blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process until almost smooth.
• Serve the chicken wings hot or at room temperature with the blue cheese dip and celery sticks.
