Game-Changing Chicken Wings
Chicken wings have a reputation as the ultimate Super Bowl Sunday food, and can be found golden and deep fried at most sporting events. But their versatility extends far beyond just deep frying them. Sauces and marinades are the name of the game when it comes to exceptional chicken wings. From barbecue to marmalade soy, the flavour possibilities are endless.
Marinating your chicken wings before cooking is a sure way to seal in flavour. Marinades work best when they have time to permeate the meat. For best results, let the wings marinate for at least one hour, and up to overnight. Next, baking them instead of frying allows the marinade to caramelize and the skin to become wonderfully crisp.
You can also barbecue chicken wings, and add the sauce after cooking. This method doesn’t allow the meat to marinate, but instead delivers a smoky, crispy wing that can then be dipped in your favourite sauce.
Next time you bring home a pound of chicken wings, consider upping your game and using one of these delicious recipes.
