Spicy Chinese Five Spice-Rubbed Chicken Wings with Creamy Cilantro Dipping Sauce image

This is one of those recipies that I've used enough that I've forgotten where the original inspiration came from-and that I actually hardly ever measure everything for...It's great for a gathering of friends for almost any occasion-say watching a game, or even a good movie...It also makes a great appetizer(I would recommend...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 13

FOR THE WINGS
20 whole chicken wings
2 Tbsp chinese five-spice powder
1 Tbsp cayenne pepper
kosher salt and pepper
creamy cilantro dipping sauce(to follow)
CREAMY CILANTRO DIPPING SAUCE
1/3 c chopped cilantro leaves(plus some for garnish)
1/4 c sour cream
1/4 c mayonnaise(do not use miricle whip-way too sweet)
1/4 c plain yogurt(optional but adds a nice tang)
juice of 1/2 lemon
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. FOR THE WINGS
  • 2. Pre-heat oven to 500 degrees, line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • 3. Remove the tips from the chicken wings(save for making stock-if you wish-or discard)and cut the wings in half at the joint. Place the wings in a bowl.
  • 4. Sprinkle 5 spice powder, and cayenne over wings, add salt and pepper.(be generous with the pepper) Rub this mixture all over the wings until no powder remains
  • 5. Place the wings on parchment lined baking sheet with the most skin up. Bake for about 25 minutes-or until cooked through browned and crispy-meanwhile make the sauce
  • 6. NOTE: This spice mixture also makes a very good Chinese inspired rub for a whole roast chicken-just maintain the ratio of 2 parts five spice to 1 part cayenne
  • 7. FOR THE SAUCE
  • 8. Combine all sauce ingredients through the lemon juice-add salt and pepper to taste
  • 9. NOTE: I should mention that I like my wings very spicy-you might prefer a lessor amount-but the sauce goes a long way in taming the heat
  • 10. NOTE: This recipe can be easily doubled-just use two baking sheets, and rotate baking sheets half way through the baking time.

I didn't have any cilantro on hand, so I used parsley in the dipping sauce. It was still very good.

I used a different brand of five-spice powder than the one called for in the recipe and the wings still turned out great.

I made these wings with boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they turned out great. I cooked them in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but these wings were not too spicy for me. They were just the right amount of heat.
