With the Super Bowl and more importantly Super Bowl Parties on the way I came across a few recipes you might like to try for your next wing ding.
Sticky Soy Sauce Wings
Ingredients
WINGS
2 pounds chicken wings
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup flour
STICKY SAUCE
2-3 tablespoons brown sugar
6 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1½ tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
Green onion, thinly sliced
Preparation
FOR THE WINGS:
1.Preheat oven to 400°F
2.Dry chicken wings with paper towel. Place wings in a large bowl and add olive oil, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with flour; only to dust, not to saturate.
3.Place on baking sheet with rack; wings should not touch each other. Bake until crispy, about 45 minutes.
FOR THE SAUCE:
1.Combine brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, red pepper flakes in a saucepan; lightly heat. Add cornstarch and water and let thicken slightly.
2.Add wings to a bowl and lightly toss in sauce — just enough to stick to wings.
3.Toss in sesame seeds and garnish with green onion.
4.Pour remaining sauce in a bowl on the side for dipping.
Spicy Sesame-Orange Wings
Ingredients
2 pounds chicken wings
1/2 cup orange juice

1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon orange zest

Preparation
1.Preheat oven to 350 F.
2.Combine wings with orange juice and oil, and toss until coated. Place onto a large baking sheet fitted with a cooling rack in a single layer and roast for 30 minutes. Flip the wings halfway through, until the wings are golden and crisp.
3.In a small saucepan, combine soda, Sriracha, sugar, butter, garlic and orange zest. Season with salt and bring to a boil, whisking until all ingredients are fully combined. Bring to a simmer and let reduce by half, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes.
