How do I make mouthwatering chicken wings?
Q- We are having a party and want to serve chicken wings as an appetizer. The only problem is that we know not everyone likes the same kind. Is there a way to make several kinds without investing a huge amount of effort?
A- Chicken wings are a fun appetizer or main course for family and friends. It’s the all-American meal that everyone seems to love, but not everyone loves them prepared the same way. Some like hot chicken wings and others like more mild chicken wings. Some like chicken wings drenched with lots of sauce and others like them with no sauce at all. That’s why it is always important to have options for your guests.
Many recipes do require lots of prep and require tons of clean-up, but there is a way to make mouthwatering chicken wings without all of the hassle. The best solution is to make a variety of rubs and sauces and prepare several different batches of the chosen recipe, enclosing 10-12 wings of the same type in foil pouches and then cooking them on the grill (sealed in the pouch).
To do this, put the prepared wings in the center of the foil, bring the short sides together and fold the edges twice over. Then fold the long side, again folding twice. Grill each pouch over high heat for 25 minutes turning once.
You can use whatever sauces and rubs you like most, cook them all at once and not have to clean the grill or worry about flavor contamination.
One of my personal top picks for this method is Jerk Chick Wings. To prepare them, use 2 tablespoon vegetable oil and 6 tablespoons jerk seasoning for 12 wings. Top with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
Have a great party!
