Extra Crispy Chicken Wings With Toasted Coconut Food

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• For the wings: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and brush the foil with the oil.
• Pat the wings dry with paper towels, then sprinkle with the baking powder and toss to evenly coat in a large mixing bowl. Spread the wings evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, crispy and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• For the dry rub: Combine the brown sugar, salt, black pepper, granulated sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne and celery seeds in a small bowl.
• Remove the wings from the oven and add to another large mixing bowl. Season well with some of the rub, and then toss to coat. (Reserve the remaining rub for another use.) Serve immediately.

BAKED CHICKEN WINGS - EXTRA CRISPY, LIKE DEEP-FRIED

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450F.
• Dry chicken with a paper towel really well. Place the wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle baking powder over the wings. Toss until all wings are evenly covered in baking powder. Better yet, mix by hand to ensure even coverage.
• Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a cooling rack (see note) on top and spray with Pam or rub with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
• Lay the chicken wings on the rack, leaving space between the wings.
• Place the baking sheet in the oven. Turn the heat down to 425F and set the mode to convection.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the wings are nicely browned and crisp.
• Let the wings rest for 5 minutes. This will preserve crispiness of the skin.
• Meanwhile, prepare the Buffalo wing sauce by combining the butter and the hot wing sauce in a small bowl.
• Season the wings with salt and whatever other seasonings you like. Toss with the Buffalo sauce or serve with the sauce on the side.

• Combine the flour, baking powder, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Add wings to the mixture and toss to coat.

EXTRA CRISPY KOREAN-STYLE CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet and set aside. Attach a deep fry thermometer to the side of a large Dutch oven or pot and fill halfway with oil, heat over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, combine the honey, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, orange juice and sesame oil in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the sauce is reduced and smooth, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
• Whisk the cornstarch, flour, 1 3/4 cups cold water, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl until smooth.
• Working in small batches, dip the chicken in the cornstarch-flour batter, let the excess drip back into the bowl and gently place in the hot oil; stir once or twice to keep the pieces separated. Fry until golden and cooked through, adjusting the heat to keep the oil temperature at 350 degrees F, about 8 or 9 minutes per batch. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and put on the prepared rack to drain briefly. While the wings are still hot, toss them in the sriracha-honey sauce until coated. Transfer them to a serving dish and top with the sesame seeds and scallions and serve with lemon wedges.

TRULY CRISPY OVEN BAKED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• If you are organised enough, uncover the chicken wings and leave them in the fridge for a few hours to dry out. Otherwise, use a paper towel to pat the wings dry.
• Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions.
• Preheat oven to 250F/120C (all oven types - standard/convection/fan).
• Line a baking tray with foil, then place a rack (like a cooling rack) on the foil. Spray the rack with oil spray.
• Place wings in a large bowl or in a ziplock bag. Add the baking powder and salt, then toss to coat evenly.
• Place the wings on the baking tray in a single layer with the skin side up. They should just fit snugly. They will shrink when they cook because the fat renders out so don't worry if they look too snug.
• Place wings on the lower middle oven rack and bake for 30 minutes.
• Move wings up to the upper middle rack and increase the oven temperature to 425F/220C. Bake for 40 - 50 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through.
• Remove baking tray from the oven and let it stand for 5 minutes.
• Toss wings in sauce of choice or serve it on the side to dip / drizzle on the wings, then serve.

COCONUT CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the first 7 ingredients, then whisk in the coconut milk. Reserve and refrigerate 1/2 cup of the mixture divided evenly in 2 containers.
• Cut off the tips of the wings (reserve them for stock or discard), then halve the wings at the joint. Place them in the bowl and toss them with the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least an hour, but preferably overnight.
• Just before grilling the wings, toast the coconut in a medium size skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Pour the flakes onto a plate and allow them to cool, then lightly crumble the flakes with your fingers and set them aside.
• Prepare the grill for cooking and oil the grates. Grill the wings 8-10 minutes per side, turning once, or until the meat at each turn.
• As the wings finish cooking, warm the other container of reserved marinade in a small saucepan until heated through.
• Transfer the cooked wings to a platter and coat them with the warmed marinade. Sprinkle the wings with the toasted coconut and serve them immediately. Serve 6 as a main dish or 12 as an appetizer.
