ROOT BEER CHICKEN WINGS

Sweet and sticky Root Beer Chicken Wings are totally easy to make and absolutely delicious!

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds of chicken wings
Salt to taste
White Pepper to taste
1 cup of root beer (we like Barqs)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon chipotle powder
1 teaspoon cornstarch (make a slurry to prevent lumps)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Spray a rimmed cookie sheet with non-stick spray.
  • Place the wings in a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and white pepper, toss to coat the wings evenly. Place the wings in rows on the cookie sheet, leaving a little space between each wing.
  • Place the cookie sheet in the preheated 450 degree oven, and bake for 20 minutes. Flip them over and cook for about 10 minutes more.
  • While they cook combine the root beer, brown sugar, smoked paprika, chipotle powder in a small saucepan. When you drop the sugar into the root beer it will fizz up, it's okay, totally normal. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking as you go along. Once it boils, add the cornstarch slurry. If you are not sure how to make a cornstarch slurry it's actually really easy and will prevent lumps. All you have to do is grab a small mason jar with a lid, then add just a little bit of the hot root beer sauce to the jar, about 1/2 cup. Then add the cornstarch to the jar, pop the lid on, secure the lid, then shake the jar. You now have a slurry.
  • Add the slurry back into the saucepan, and whisk to keep it moving so it becomes smooth and starts to thicken. Once it thickens you remove from the heat.
  • At this time take the wings out of the oven, transfer to a mixing bowl (keep your pan out, the wings are going back in the oven to caramelize) and pour about half the liquid into the bowl. Set the other half aside for dipping wings into, if you dig that kind of thing.
  • Now toss the chicken wings in the sauce to coat evenly. Pour them back onto the cookie sheet and spread them out evenly. Place the cookie sheet back in the oven and cook for about 8 to 12 minutes, depending on how crispy you like your wings. I like to cook mine for about 5 or 6 minutes then flip them and crisp the other side. Remove from oven.
  • Pour the remaining sauce into bowls or mason jars for dunking.
  • Serve with a big old saucy, messy smile!

SUNNY'S ROOT BEER BBQ WINGS



Sunny's Root Beer BBQ Wings image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 wings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups root beer
2/3 cup ketchup
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 cloves garlic, grated on a rasp (not minced)
One 2-inch piece fresh ginger, cut into 1/4-inch discs
1 ghost pepper or habanero pepper, pierced with the tip of a knife
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 chicken wings, tips intact and not trimmed
Peanut or vegetable oil, to fry
2 lime wedges, for garnish
2 to 3 tablespoons black sesame seeds, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the glaze: In a pot on medium-high heat, add the root beer, ketchup, sugar, lime juice, garlic and ginger. Whisk together until the mixture begins to boil and the ketchup and sugar are dissolved into the root beer. Lower to a simmer and when it begins to reduce in volume and thicken, turn off the heat and add the pepper. Allow to steep in the residual heat for 10 minutes, then discard the pepper and stir the glaze.
  • For the wings: In a large paper bag, add the flour, cornstarch, a nice pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Crimp it shut and gently toss it to mix the contents. In batches, add a few wings and toss them from side to side to fully coat. Remove to a wire rack and allow to rest until the flour soaks into the skin, about 15 minutes. Repeat the process for 2 dry coats. After the second resting period, the wings are ready to fry.
  • In a deep fryer or deep heavy pot, add enough oil to fill to about 4 inches. Heat the oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Add the wings in batches to keep the temperature and fry each batch 12 minutes. Remove the wings to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle immediately with a pinch of salt.
  • In batches, add a bit of the glaze to a large bowl and a few wings, then toss them to coat. Remove the wings to a platter, top with a spritz of lime and a sprinkle of sesame seeds and serve.

Time 35m

Yield 1 1/3 cups glaze

1 cup root beer (room temperature)
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup ketchup

  • Cook uncovered until mixture reduces in half (about 15 to 20 minutes) stirring occasionally.
  • Brush half of sauce on ham prior to baking.
  • Brush remaining sauce over ham just as it comes out of the oven.
  • For a lighter flavor, only brush ham with 1/4 of the glaze before going into the oven and 1/4 of the glaze coming out.
