Old Fashioned Chicken Wings
Not 'old fashioned' like regular wings, the sauce here is based on the cocktail, Old Fashioned. Sounds like a great sauce for chicken wings. Serve as an appetizer or a main dish with sides such as coleslaw and corn on the cob.
Ingredients
For the Wings
- 1 kilo chicken wings, drumettes and or middle pieces
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
For the Sauce
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup cherry juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 ounces bourbon
- dash bitters
- salt and pepper, to taste
- orange zest, to taste
Instructions
For the Wings
- Preheat oven to 220 C. Prepare a parchment lined or foil lined baking tray with a baking rack on top.
- Use paper towels to thoroughly pat dry the chickens wings. In a bowl, mix together the baking powder, salt, and pepper. Add chicken wings and fully coat with the mixture.
- Place wings across the baking rack, without overlapping. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven, flip over the wings, and bake again for another 30 minutes, or until fully cooked and golden.
For the Sauce
- In a pan, combine all ingredients except orange zest. Reduce on medium heat until thickened. Toss with wings. Top with orange zest.
Notes
Wing prices can vary from 90 Baht/kilo for whole wings, 80 Baht/kilo for drumettes, and 125 Baht/kilo for middle wing sections. I like the drumettes as they have more meat on them, I will price this on 80 Baht. For 2 servings, this is about $1.17. I would assume this could be 4 servings if served with a side of slaw and some corn on the cob, for about 59 cents per serving.
