garlic ginger wings

 

  With the Super Bowl this weekend I thought it would be to share one of my husband Andy's delicious recipes for wings. He is a master at making oven baked wings in variety of different flavors. My favorite are his garlic ginger wings. They are crispy, a little spicy and CRAZY yummy!

    

INGREDIENTS

    

    Wings:

    1-1/2 to 2 pounds chicken wings, cut at joint, no tips

    Salt and pepper to taste

    Sriracha to taste (I use 1 to 2 tablespoons, depending on who's eating them)

    Around 1 tablespoon peanut oil

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F

    Line a baking sheet with foil and grease foil with non-stick cooking spray

    Place chicken wings in large mixing bowl and add salt, pepper, sriracha and peanut oil

    Stir mixture so the wings are coated
    Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes
    Turn wings and return to oven. Cook until crispy for another 20 minutes

   Glaze:

    2-3 finely chopped garlic cloves

   1-1.5 inch chunk of fresh ginger root, minced

   1 tablespoon Sambal (or preferred type of chile pepper sauce)

   1/2 cup of packed brown sugar

   1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar
   1 tablespoon of soy sauce

    Whisk together ingredients and bring mixture to a boil.  Immediately remove from heat.

     Place wings into a large mixing bowl.  

    Pour desired amount of the glaze over the wings and toss. 
    Use extra sauce for dipping.

    Transfer to plate and let wings sit for approx. 5 min for the sauce to absorb into the meat.
    Garnish with basil.
