Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 16

cooking spray
3 tablespoons baking powder
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
2 pounds chicken wings, split and tips discarded
⅓ cup water
⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons chili sauce (such as Heinz®)

¼ teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat an air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat the fryer basket with cooking spray.
  • Whisk baking powder, salt, pepper, and paprika together in a small bowl. Place baking powder mixture in a bag, add some of the chicken wings, and shake the bag to coat. Remove wings from the bag, shaking off excess powder, and repeat until all wings are coated with baking powder mixture.

Bring to a low boil and cook until sauce has reduced, about 15 minutes. Whisk together 1 teaspoon water and cornstarch in a small bowl and pour into the sauce; stir until sauce has thickened.

BALSAMIC CHICKEN WINGS

Provided by Chuck Hughes

Categories     appetizer

Time 4h45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

18 chicken wings
1 cup/250ml honey
1 cup/250ml brown sugar
1 cup/250ml balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons/30ml peeled and grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Lemon zest, for garnish

Steps:

  • Remove the tips from the wings by cutting between the joints. Transfer the wings to a large resealable plastic bag.
  • Combine the honey, brown sugar, vinegar, ginger, garlic and lemon zest and juice in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Pour half the marinade into the bag with the chicken. Squeeze out most of the air and seal the bag. Shake gently to distribute the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches if necessary, sear the chicken wings, flipping once, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for about 30 minutes, flipping the wings often to prevent them from burning. Remove the skillet from the oven and add the remaining marinade. Continue to cook the wings on the stovetop until the sauce is thick and coats the chicken wings evenly.
  • To serve, arrange the wings on a platter and garnish with lemon zest.

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Dipping Sauce:
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
Juice of 2 limes
1 avocado
1 jalapeno, stemmed, seeded and chopped
Kosher salt
Wings:
2 heads garlic
4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for oiling the baking sheets
4 pounds split chicken wings, wing tips removed
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
2 sprigs thyme
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the dipping sauce: Combine the yogurt, lime juice, avocado, jalapeno, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons water in a blender and puree until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the wings: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Drizzle the garlic heads with 1 tablespoon of the oil and wrap in foil. Bake until golden and soft, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • After about a 30 minutes, generously oil 2 rimmed baking sheets. Toss the wings with 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper and divide them between the two baking sheets, spreading them in a single layer. Bake until very crispy, about 55 minutes.
  • Squeeze the baked garlic from the heads into a large bowl. Combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, thyme, red pepper flakes, 1/3 cup water and 1 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer briskly until the liquid becomes syrupy and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Whisk into the bowl with the garlic.
  • Transfer the baked wings to the bowl with the glaze and toss to combine. Serve with the dipping sauce and lime wedges.
