Wngs Any Way

 Chicken wings are a big part of fall cuisine. They're served at tailgating parties. They grace Halloween party tables. They're the highlight of late season barbecues> What's best about them is that you can make them and their counterparts - drumsticks any way you want.

This chicken dish is versatile. You can have them smoky and sweet one day and spiky with spice and flavor the next.The first thing to consider is not the flavor but the crunch. A soggy wing might taste good but it it doesn't;t feel good in your mouth. what needs to be done before flavoring and frying is dry brining. Use baking powder and cornstarch for a crunchy, crispy texture.A pitch of salt is added for flavor and then the wings are roasted in a 400 degree Farenheit oven for forty-five minutes. You could also make the wings less crunchier but more flavorful with a Buffalo chicken wing recipe.Mix melted butter and cayenne pepper or Frank's hot sauce. Fry or roast the chicken first then drench in the sauce. reserve a bowl of extra sauce for dipping later on.Serve these with mouth cooling celery and Ranch dressing or even carrots.If you want super hot but super flavorful then try Szechuan style wings This is taking the wings and first  dry brining them in salt and baking powder. Then there's the sauce . This is a mix of toasted and crushed peppercorns mixed with chili flakes, Shaoxing wine and a garlic and ginger paste.dark and light soy sauce is also added to this along with palm sugar. You can add chopped peanuts and more chili flakes on top too.

The weather is still good for barbecued wings. Again there are options. Grilled wings are cooked when the grill li d is opened; while barbecued is done with the grill lid closed.This last will give you extray juicy and tender meat. what about the sauces? D you put the barbecue sauce on when the wingers are being cooked? Yes but put a thin layer of sauce on them. Barbecue sauce contains sugar which burns easily and browns faster than the meat.This can. make it difficult to tell if the meat is completely cooked. A better idea is barbecue or grill the wings and even drumsticks without the sauce on them and serve the sauce separately.A  fun idea is having a few sauces out so family and friends can have a choice. Try a sweet barbecue sauce made from ketchup, honey molasses and liquid smoke. Zing it up with garlic and onion powder.If you want give it some bite with a tiny drop of hot sauce. Another sauce perfect for wings and drumsticks is honey mustard. Use a good grainy mustard like Grey Poupon and mix with a wildflower honey..

wings are a perfect addition to any taol gater or Halloween party. There are so many different ways to make them. ENjoy them your way, whether grilled or fried
