Removing the skin from a raw wing is almost impossible! This technique makes the task a little easier and also insures that you will not serve raw chicken.
Healthier Chicken Wings
Prep for both recipes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray. Lay out chicken wings and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. Let wings cool so you can handle them easily and remove the skin from the wings if you wish.
Balsamic Soy Chicken Wings
4 pounds chicken wingettes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup soy Sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
While wings roast, simmer vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar in a heavy saucepan, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1/3 cup, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted. In a large bowl, season the wings with salt and toss the cooked wings in the reduced sauce until well coated. Turn up the oven temperature to 450 degrees. Return the wings to a foil lined baking sheet and baking until crispy, turning occasionally. This should take 10 to 15 minutes.
Caribbean Spiced Chicken Wings
4-5 pounds chicken wings
3 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons ground ginger
2 tablespoons ground coriander
2 tablespoons black pepper
1 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
In a bowl mix together salt, brown sugar, ginger, coriander, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, allspice and cayenne pepper. In a large bowl, season and toss the cooked wings until nicely coated. Turn up the oven temperature to 450 degrees. Return the wings to a foil lined baking sheet and baking until crispy, turning occasionally. This should take 10 to 15 minutes.
Notes:
You do not have to remove the skin from the chicken wings if you do not wish. It is extremely hard to remove the skin while the chicken is raw. Pre-baking the wings will make the task much easier plus you will end up cooking the chicken wings two time and this should almost guarantee that you will not serve you and your guests raw chicken.
A 10-piece serving of traditional Buffalo Chicken Wings will give you around approximately 1,300 calories. That is not including the blue cheese or ranch dip in the calorie count. A 10-piece serving of skinless chicken wings will give you approximately 450 to 500 calories.
