CHICKEN WINGS WITH MANGO-TAMARIND SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the mangoes, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, tamarind paste, oil, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a blender. Puree until smooth.
• Place the chicken wings in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add just enough sauce to coat the wings (about 1/2 cup, reserve the rest for serving) and toss to coat. Cover the wings with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
• Lift the chicken wings out of the sauce letting the excess marinade drip back into the bowl. Place the wings on the prepared baking pan and bake for 30 minutes until cooked through. Preheat the broiler and adjust the rack so it's 6 inches from the heating element. Transfer the wings to the broiler and broil for another 3 minutes until the skin is crispy.
• While the wings bake, place the reserved sauce in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until syrupy, 5 to 10 minutes. Put the chicken wings on a platter and garnish with chopped scallion. Serve with the remaining mango-tamarind sauce on the side for dipping.

SPICY PALOMAS

Steps:

• Combine the pink salt, cayenne and 1 teaspoon sugar in a small bowl, then place in a shallow dish to rim the glasses.
• Juice the grapefruits with a citrus reamer or with the wide holes on a juicer to obtain plenty of pulp but strain out the seeds. (You need 12 to 14 ounces.) Add to a small pitcher.
• Put the jalapeno slices in a cocktail shaker along with the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar and muddle to break the peppers down into a rough mash. Add the tequila and a scoop of ice and shake to infuse; then pour through a strainer into the grapefruit juice and stir to combine.
• Slice the lime into 6 wheels and make a slice halfway into each wheel to hang on each glass. Run the lime along half of the rim of each glass and dip in the pink salt mixture, then garnish with the lime slice. Fill the glasses with ice and divide the Palomas over the top.

CRISPY OVEN-FRIED M-80 CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• For the chicken: Put the chicken in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the baking powder and salt over the wings and toss until the wings are coated.
• Fit a sheet pan with a wire rack and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack. Leave uncovered in the fridge overnight. (This ensures super crispy skin.)
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Set a rack in a lower-middle position in the oven. Bake the wings until golden brown and crispy, rotating halfway through cooking, 45 to 50 minutes.
• For the sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, sambal, soy sauce, vinegar and butter. Stir in the giardiniera. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
• Toss the hot wings with the M-80 Sauce until evenly coated. Spread out on a long dish, so there is not a lot of overlap. Top with the poppy seeds!

SMOKED WINGS OF PARADISE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir the salt and sugar into 8 cups water until dissolved. Add the chicken wings and let sit at room temperature, 1 hour. Dry off the wings with a paper towel and season with pepper and a bit of the barbecue rub.
• Place the wood chunks directly on the burner of a grill, under the grate. Close the lid and turn all the burners to high until the chunks start to smoke, about 15 minutes.
• Turn off all the other burners except the primary burner with the wood chunks. Using a rib rack, suspend the wings on the cooler side of the grill. Close and smoke the wings, maintaining a temperature of 250 to 275 degrees F, until the meat registers 165 to 170 degrees F, about 1 hour. Serve immediately.

FAMOUS WHITE WINGS

Steps:

• Cut each chicken breast into 4 strips.
• Place a cheese cube and one slice of jalapeno on each chicken strip and roll up.
• Wrap one slice of bacon around each rolled up chicken slice, forming a ball; then wrap another slice of bacon the opposite way.
• Tuck the bacon into the chicken ball, using toothpicks to hold in place.
• Grill at medium heat for 20-30 minutes, rotating constantly to ensure the meats are cooked through.
• Cheese will start to ooze out and bacon will be crispy when done.
• NOTE: You can speed up the cooking process by blanching the chicken balls in a fryer first for about 3-4 minutes.
• Serve with flour tortillas, salsa, sour cream, or pico de gallo.
