RANCH CHICKEN WINGS

FRIED CHICKEN WINGS WITH RANCH
The dressing here is all about the garlic. The garlic and onion powders are important for that true ranch flavor we know from childhood. I serve these wings with lots of sliced carrots and cucumbers on the side for dunking in the dressing. I also just put out homemade or jarred pickle spears too. It's nice to take a break every few wings and eat your vegetables.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk and pickle juice with the grated garlic, dill, hot sauce, garlic powder and onion powder. Taste for seasoning.
- Prepare the wings: Pour the oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F over medium heat. Prepare 2 rimmed baking sheets, one lined with a wire rack. In a large bowl, combine the flour and cornstarch. Separate the larger wings and the smaller ones. Season all of them with salt and toss in the flour mix. Shake off the excess.
- Fry the wings : Lower half of the larger wings into the oil and gently "swirl" the oil with a slotted spoon as they fry. This swirling will assure they fry more evenly on all sides. When they are light to medium brown, 5 to 7 minutes, remove them with the slotted spoon and lay them out on the wire rack to cool. Season with salt. Cook the rest of the wings in batches, keeping the cooked wings warm in the second baking sheet in the oven until all are fried. Leave the wings in the oven for at least 10 minutes to assure all are cooked through.
- Arrange the wings on a serving platter with the ranch dressing alongside for dunking. Serve with the lemon, carrots, cucumbers and pickles.

Steps:
- Add dressing mix and vinegar and oil in large bowl also add hot sauce to taste (a little if you like mild, little more for medium and a lot if you like hot. Start with 1 tablespoon and next time add more if you want!).
- Whisk together with a wire whisk, adding enough water to make a thinner mixture (your first mixture will be very thick and you want it thin enough to coat the chicken).
- Toss chicken in the mixture (for best results marinate overnight).
- When ready to cook lay in a single layer on a foil lined pan (deep enough to keep drippings in the pan) Bake at 400° for 20 minutes, turn over (drain drippings into a saucepan) and baste with some more sauce, bake at 425° for 25 minutes (you may need to put them under the broiler for a few minutes to brown them up a little).
- Remove chicken to serving platter stacking them in the center of the platter.
- In small saucepan mix remaining sauce and all the drippings from the pan; boil whisking the mixture the whole time until cooked through and thickened.
- Drizzle over chicken and serve immediately.
CHILI'S SHANGHAI WINGS AND WASABI RANCH DRESSING
Steps:
- Slice each chicken breast into 6 pieces. Combine flour, salt, peppers and paprika in a medium bowl. In another small bowl, whisk together egg and milk. One or two at a time, dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, then into the breading blend; then repeat the process so that each piece of chicken is double-coated. When all chicken pieces have been breaded, arrange them on a plate and chill for 15 minutes. Preheat 4 to 8 cups of oil (use the amount required by your fryer) in a deep fryer to 375 degrees. GINGER-CITRUS SAUCE: As the chicken is resting, make the ginger-citrus sauce by dissolving the corn starch in the water. Pour the water into a medium saucepan along with the rest of the sauce ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. When the sauce begins to bubble, reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until thick. Remove the sauce from the heat and let it cool a bit. WASABI-RANCH DRESSING: Make the wasabi-ranch dressing while your ginger-citrus sauce is simmering. Simply whisk together the ranch dressing, buttermilk, prepared horseradish, powdered wasabi, and green food coloring in a small bowl. Cover and chill this until the wings are done. When the chicken has rested and you're ready to cook, lower the boneless wings into the oil and fry for 5 to 6 minutes or until each piece is browned. Depending on the size of your fryer, you may want to fry the chicken in batches so that the chicken isn't too crowded in there. When chicken pieces are done frying, remove them to a draining rack or a plate lined with a couple paper towels. When all the chicken is fried, place the pieces into a covered container such as a large jar with a lid. Pour the Ginger-citrus Sauce over the chicken in the container, cover it up, and then gently shake everything around until each piece of chicken is coated with sauce. Pour the chicken onto a plate and serve the dish with Wasabi-ranch Dressing on the side.

RANCH WINGS

Steps:
- 1. Toss the wings with 1 package of dressing mix in bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
- 2. Whisk the flour, pepper and 1 package of dressing mix in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, 2 Tablespoons of warm water and the remaining package of dressing mix. Dredge the wings a few at a time in the seasoned flour, then dip into the egg mixture, return to the four mixture ,turning to coat. Transfer to a rack to rest.
- 3. Heat(at least 1/2 deep) vegetable oil in skillet over medium heat until fry thermometer registers approx.350 degrees F. Fry the wings in batches trying not to touch, turning occasionally, until crisp and golden brown, approx. 20 mins. Drain on rack. Note: I use my microwave bacon cooker for draining wings, as seen in picture. It works out well. Whisk hot sauce and honey over medium heat in a pan, bring to a slow simmer. Drizzle over wings. Enjoy!
Tips:
- To achieve crispy wings, ensure your wings are dry before cooking. Pat them dry with paper towels or let them air dry for a few minutes.
- Use a combination of baking powder and cornstarch to create an extra crispy coating. The baking powder helps the wings puff up, while the cornstarch adds a golden-brown color.
- For a flavorful and tangy ranch coating, mix together mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, dill weed, chives, parsley, and salt and pepper to taste.
- If you prefer a spicier ranch coating, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the ranch mixture.
- To ensure even cooking, arrange the wings in a single layer on a baking sheet or wire rack.
- Bake the wings at a high temperature, around 425°F (220°C), for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and crispy.
- For added flavor, baste the wings with the ranch mixture during the last few minutes of baking.
- Serve the ranch wings hot with additional ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
These ranch wings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack that everyone will enjoy. With their crispy coating and flavorful ranch sauce, they are sure to be a hit at any gathering. So next time you're looking for a tasty treat, give these ranch wings a try!
