Categories     Chicken     Dinner

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

For brining the wings:
¼ cup brown sugar
¼ cup kosher salt
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Thai fish sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
3 garlic cloves, peeled
Stems from 1 bunch fresh cilantro
16 large whole chicken wings
For the guajillo sauce:
3 dried guajillo chiles
1 dried ancho chile
5 garlic cloves, peeled
1 small shallot, roughly chopped
1 ½ teaspoons soy sauce
1 ½ teaspoons Thai fish sauce
1 ½ tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
Rinds and pulp of 2 juiced lemons, coarsely chopped
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
6 white anchovy fillets
1 tablespoon finely ground chamomile flowers (finely ground pure chamomile "tea" may be used)
½ cup fresh lemon juice
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
To roast and serve:
¼ cup melted clarified butter or ghee

Steps:

  • Brine the wings: 1. In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, kosher salt, lemon juice, granulated sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce and smoked paprika. Add 2 quarts of water and mix well. Add the garlic, cilantro stems and chicken wings. Mix, cover, and refrigerate for 7 to 14 hours. 2. Remove wings from marinade, rinse and transfer to a sheet pan with a rack. Allow to sit uncovered until dry and slightly tacky to the touch, 30 to 45 minutes. Prepare the guajillo sauce: 1. Cut stem and cap off the guajillo and ancho chiles and remove the seeds; if the chiles are very brittle, warm them briefly in a skillet to soften. Sauté in a dry skillet until the skins change color and begin to smoke heavily, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a container and cover with hot water. Soak until softened, 30 to 45 minutes. 2. Drain chiles and place in a food processor. Add garlic, shallot, soy sauce, fish sauce, black pepper, lemons, smoked paprika, white anchovies, chamomile, lemon juice and salt. Purée until smooth. To roast and serve: 1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Brush wings with butter or ghee and roast until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees, about 20 minutes. (Alternatively, the wings could be smoked with your choice of wood at 225 degrees for 2 1/2 hours.) 2. Baste wings again with butter or ghee, increase oven temperature to 450 and continue to roast until the skins are brown and crispy, 10 to 15 minutes more. (Alternatively, the wings may be deep-fried at 350 degrees until golden brown and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.) Allow wings to rest at room temperature for 10 minutes. 3. To serve, slather wings with a generous amount of guajillo sauce

I served the chicken wings with a side of ranch dressing and they were the perfect combination. The creamy ranch dressing helped to balance out the spiciness of the wings.

I baked the chicken wings instead of frying them and they were still delicious. I think baking them is a healthier option, and it's just as easy.

I marinated the chicken wings for longer than the recipe called for and they were even more flavorful. I would recommend marinating the chicken for at least 4 hours, or even overnight.

I used a different type of chili pepper in the sauce because I didn't have any guajillo peppers. The wings still turned out great! I think you could use any type of chili pepper you like in this recipe.
