POULTRY ESSENTIALS: AWESOME DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• Sweet versus Smoked Paprika There are many varieties of paprika, but the one that I felt did not work with this dipping sauce was smoked. Do not use smoked paprika. I found that sweet worked the best.
• Store Bought versus Homemade Two of the ingredients in this recipe are easy to find at the grocer, and you probably have them in your fridge or pantries: Mayonnaise and ketchup. If you have some time on your hands, you might want to try homemade. They taste better and do not have all those nasty preservatives in them. Here are two recipes that I use to make those condiments: Ketchup https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/versatile-homemade-ketchup.html?r=1 Mayonnaise https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/spread/mayonnaise-essentials-faux-duke-s-version.html?r=6 If you are using store-bought ingredients (mayonnaise, ketchup), then this recipe will last 2 - 3 weeks tightly covered in the fridge. If you are using homemade condiments (no preservatives), then it will last about a week.
• Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• Place all of the Main Ingredients into a mixing bowl.
• Whisk together until smooth.
• Add salt, white pepper, and hot sauce, to taste.
• Cover and let rest overnight in the fridge before using.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• I made some chicken tenders and used this sauce... Awesome. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

POULTRY ESSENTIALS: SPICY ASIAN WING SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. Bringing something up to the boil. Bringing something "up to the boil" is subject to some interpretation. For example, this recipe instructs you to bring the sauce up to the boil, and then reduce it to a simmer. I could crank my Viking range up full and have this it at a, rolling boil in 30 seconds, and it some cases that might be okay; however, this sauce contains sugars, and sugars will burn at that high a heat. So, here is a rule-of-thumb to go by. If the sauce you are making has to come to the boil, and it contains sugars, adjust the heat so that it takes about 5 minutes to reach a boiling state. A bit longer is acceptable but getting there faster runs the risk of burning the sugars.
• 3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 4. THE WINGS
• 5. Add the wings oil, salt, and pepper to a bowl and toss to combine.
• 6. Add to the basket of your air fryer, set the temp to 350f (175c).
• 7. Shake the basket every few minutes until the wings are golden brown and crispy, about 30 - 35 minutes.
• 8. THE SAUCE
• 9. While the wings are cooking, add all of the sauce ingredients to a saucepan over medium heat.
• 10. Bring to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer.
• 11. Whisk the cornstarch/arrowroot powder with the water, then add to the sauce. Stir until the sauce thickens, about 2 - 3 minutes.
• 12. Remove from the heat.
• 13. PLATE/PRESENT
• 14. Toss the wings with the sauce or serve on the side. Enjoy.
• 15. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

WING ESSENTIALS: CHICKEN WINGS WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• THE SAUCE
• Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
• Add all the ingredients for the mustard sauce into a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
• Stir the mixture until you see the first bubbles appear, and then remove from the heat.
• Allow to cool down on the countertop.
• Seal in a non-reactive container, and place into the fridge until ready to use.
• Chef's Tip: If you can manage to wait 24 hours; please do. The flavor of the sauce really does taste better on the second day.
• THE WINGS
• Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• Add the paprika, salt, and cayenne to a bowl, or Ziploc bag.
• Add the wings and toss until completely coated.
• Place into the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour.
• Set a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
• Place the wings on a parchment-lined baking sheet, fitted with a wire rack.
• Bake for 20 minutes.
• Increase the heat to 425 (220c), flip the wings over, and bake an additional 20 minutes.
• Chef's Note: During this second baking, keep a close eye on the wings. We want them a lovely golden brown, not black.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Place the wings on a serving plate with the mustard dipping sauce, and stand back. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

POULTRY ESSENTIALS: SPICY CHICKEN DUST

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. Storage of homemade condiments and spices Because homemade spices and condiments do not contain any preservatives, it is important to store them properly. Non-reactive (glass) containers with tight-fitting lids are a must. If I am making a dry spice, I love to use old spice bottles that I have run through the dishwasher. If I am doing homemade sauces, I love using Weck jars. They are all glass, come in all sizes and shapes, and have excellent leakproof lids. If you shop online, you can go to Amazon, and type in "Weck Jars" and you will find a ton of them. Dry spices should be kept in a cool space, away from sunlight (spice cabinet), and sauces, in most cases, should be stored in the fridge. If properly stored, this saucspicee should last 6 - 8 months.
• 3. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 4. Add all the spices together in a non-reactive jar, and store in a cool/dry space (spice cabinet) until needed.
• 5. PLATE/PRESENT
• 6. Sprinkle on chicken before baking or pan frying... and even have some at the table when eating. Enjoy.
• 7. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

• This recipe supplies enough dust and sauce for about four pounds of wings; however, it can easily be halved or quartered for smaller batches.
• Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• Place a rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
• Mix all of the wing dust ingredients together in a small bowl.
• Toss the wings in the dust, lay them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and if you have a rack use it.
• I do one more optional step. I put some AP flour in a fine mesh strainer, and lightly, lightly sprinkle them, after I have applied the wing dust. It helps to make them a bit crispier, but do not use too much
• Add to the preheated oven and bake until crispy, about 40 - 45 minutes.
• If you are not using a rack, turn the wings over about halfway through baking process. If you are using a rack, skip this step.
• While the wings are baking, add the sauce ingredients to a saucepan over low heat, and whisk until combined.
• After they come out of the oven, place the wings into a bowl and toss with a small bit of the sauce. Do not soak them... Just a bit will do.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Serve the wings with the additional sauce on the side. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
