Worked last evening/morning in the kitchen perfecting my Mexican dishes. About 1:00a I thought to myself: “I think I want a mess of chicken wings.” You probably do that too, yes? Anyway, the test kitchen was littered with stuff for my Mexican recipes, so I wanted something that would be easy to make, not be too messy, and be tasty. I opened the walk-in, picked up a vacuum-sealed package of frozen wings, and this is what I came up with. Olive oil makes them crispy, spices give them flavor, and 2-heat baking, keeps the insides juicy. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make poultry essentials: late night/early morning wings

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

You will need a parchment-lined, rimmed baking sheet to make this recipe. If you have a wire rack for your baking sheet that would be outstanding, but it is not necessary.
Step 3

Chicken Wings A whole wing is composed of three parts: The drumette, the flat or wingette, and the tip. Separate the drumette from the flat, then freeze and save the tips for flavoring soups and stocks. With six wings that will give you twelve separate pieces.
Step 4

Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
Step 5

Add the oil and spices to a bowl, then whisk to combine.
Step 6

Completely dry off the wings, then place into the bowl and toss to coat.
Step 7

Add the wings to your baking sheet.
Step 8

If you are not using a wire rack, you will want to turn the wings over, halfway through the baking process. If you are using a rack, this will not be necessary.
Step 9

Place a rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 425f/220c.
Step 10

Add the wings to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.
Step 11

Lower the heat to 350f/175c, then bake until the wings are crispy and beginning to brown, about another 12 – 15 minutes.
Step 12

OPTIONAL DIPPING SAUCE
Step 13

If you are making it, simply whisk all the ingredient together in a bowl, and taste for proper seasoning.
Step 14

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 15

Serve with the dipping sauce and tuck in. Enjoy.
Step 16

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
