Spicy Citrus Chicken Wings Food

SPICY CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken wings under cold running water, then drain and blot dry completely with paper towels. Place the wings in a large bowl and sprinkle with the garlic salt, pepper, cayenne, and oregano. Season just 1 side of the wings for mild, or for hotter wings, turn the wings to coat the other side with seasonings and then cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high.
• Grill chicken wings, turning once, until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Serve immediately with a side of Blue Cheese Dressing.
• Blend all ingredients together in a food processor. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

BAKED CITRUS WINGS WITH SPICY AVOCADO GREEK YOGURT DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the yogurt, avocado, jalapeno, lime juice, 2 tablespoons water and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a blender and puree until smooth.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Generously oil 2 rimmed baking sheets.
• Toss the wings with 2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper and divide them between the 2 prepared baking sheets, spreading them out into a single layer. Bake until very crispy, about 55 minutes.
• While the wings cook, combine the pineapple preserves, ginger, lime juice, orange juice, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer briskly until the liquid becomes syrupy and is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 8 minutes.
• Transfer the baked wings to a large bowl and toss them with the citrus glaze and scallions. Serve with the dipping sauce.

SPICY CITRUS CARAMEL CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
• In a large bowl, toss chicken together with olive oil, salt, and half of the lime and lemon zests. Spread in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Transfer to oven and roast until golden brown, draining fat and shaking pan occasionally, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, slice the top and bottom of oranges with a paring knife. Set one of the flat sides on your work surface. From top to bottom, following the curve of the fruit, cut away peel and white pith. Trim off any remaining pith. Holding the oranges over a bowl, cut along both sides of each segment, staying close to the membrane, to release. Chop oranges and place in a fine mesh sieve in a bowl, to drain, pressing down on oranges to release juice as necessary; set aside.
• In a medium saucepan heat sugar and 1 teaspoon water over medium-high heat and cook, stirring occasionally and brushing down the sides of the saucepan with a damp pastry brush, until the sugar dissolves and comes to a boil. Cook until mixture becomes golden amber in color; remove from heat and add orange juice. Return mixture to heat and cook until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Stir in corn syrup and continue cooking until thickened, about 1 minute more. Add orange pieces and cook until liquid is reduced and mixture is thick, about 3 minutes; remove from heat.
• Remove chicken from oven and transfer to a large bowl. Pour over citrus glaze and toss to coat. Stir in remaining lime and lemon zest, ginger, Sriracha, and cayenne pepper; serve immediately.
