NOTICE
On Sundays between now and Valentine’s Day, I am going to run just recipes for either Super Bowl Parties or for Valentine’s Day.
I start with a super Super Bowl recipe.
Featured Recipe Chicken Wings with NFC Sauce
I read an article recently that the #1 most popular food at Super Bowl parties are chicken wings.
I have lots of chicken wing recipes to share. Below is one of my favorites.
Ten or more years ago one of those magazine inserts, Parade or USA Today or something similar, that come with your Sunday newspaper had a recipe for chicken wings with two sauces: an AFC sauce and an NFC sauce.
I did not care for the AFC Sauce and did not keep it. But I loved the NFC Sauce. That is what I am sharing with you today. NOTE: A link to the AFC Sauce is at the bottom of this post.
I also like this recipe because it calls for roasting the wings rather than deep frying them. I do that on a rack so a lot of the grease drips off.
Making your own wings is less expensive, ($2.20 per person) than buying them and most important, the wings are generally much more juicy and delicious than frozen, fast food, or restaurant wings.
SUPER EASY TO MAKE
And it does not take that long to make these either. I made these wings in 65 minutes start to finish; and that includes cleaning everything up except the roasting pan and the plates for eating.
The recipe is very easy to double or triple.
I bought disjointed wings at the store. That way I do not have to do it myself, which saves some time; even though it is a bit more expensive.
This is what you will need for 3 people:
15-24 wing pieces*
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Salt and pepper to taste
*NOTE: The original recipe calls for 24 wing pieces. I have never been able to coat 24 wings with the amount of sauce the recipe below makes. I am lucky of I get 15 pieces. You will see that in the pictures below.
Because of that I sometimes double the sauce recipe. I use any left over sauce as a dipping sauce during eating. Doubles your pleasure!!!
I like my wings really coated with sauce.
For the Sauce:
¼ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons brown sugar (any)
1 Tablespoon Vinegar (any)
This is what you do:
Put your oven rack in the upper middle position. Heat oven to 450 degrees.
Set a large wire rack over a foil lined shallow pan. If you don’t have one, roast on a foil lined cookie sheet or other pan. The wings will cook in the oil but it can be done and I have done it that way on occasion. And they are just as delicious.
Put wings in a large bowl and add the oil and salt and pepper. Using your hands mix it all together so that all the wings are well coated.
Then arrange in a single layer on the rack.
Place in the oven and toast until golden brown about 40 minutes.
While the wings are roasting make the sauce.
Place all sauce ingredients in a small bowl……………….
………….and mix well. Set aside until the wings have cooked 40 minutes or are golden brown.
When wings are golden brown remove them from the oven. Don’t they look godenly wonderful? I could eat them just like this.
Using tongs dip each wing into the Sauce………………….
…………….and toss to coat both sides.
Place the wings back into the roasting pan. NOTE: The recipe calls for draining the oil in bottom of pan and just throwing the wings on the pan. I put them back on the rack. Your choice.
Then place back into the oven for 8-10 more minutes.
Remove from the oven.
Place on a plate. I had some green onions in the fridge and sliced them and threw on top for some color.
Serve with Simple Romaine Salad or Classic Cole Slaw.
IF you would like to see the AFC Sauce, which includes hot red pepper sauce, I found it on the internet at cdkitchen. Just click the link and you can get it.
Bon appétit!!!
