Oven baked wings



Leave it to Alton Brown to come up with the perfect way to make wings without a deep fryer. This is a time consuming recipe, but the results are definitely worth it. We chose to make 12 wings with two different sauces; our own 6 ingredient bbq sauce, and a honey sriracha sauce. 

Here's the recipe, according to Alton: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/alton-browns-buffalo-wings-recipe.html

Some notes: 

  • When steaming the wings, you'll know when they are done with the meat is a little darker and loots like boiled meat
  • Don't skimp on the drying off time. The oven baking will only be successful if the wings are dry
  • With the honey sriracha sauce, melt the butter first before adding the other ingredients
Prep time: 1 hour and 15 mins
Bake time: 40-50 mins


Wings: 
  • Using a steamer basket, steam the wings for about 10 mins. You'll know they are done when they look a little darker. 
  • While the wings are steaming, line a baking sheet with paper towels and place a cooling rack on top.
  • When the wings are done, pat them dry and line them up on the cooling rack. Place them in the fridge to dry for at least an hour
  • Once they are out of the fridge, pre-heat the oven to 425. Replace the paper towels with parchment paper and ditch the cooling rack. Line the wings in a single layer on the parchment paper and bake for 20 mins. Flip them and bake for another 25-30 mins, or until the skin is crispy and browned.
  • Toss the baked wings with your sauce of choice. Serve and enjoy!
