Sunny Andersons Caribbean Chicken Wings Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the habanero, soy sauce, honey, both sugars, fennel seeds, cayenne, allspice, thyme, ginger, garlic and scallions in a blender. Add the vinegar, lime juice and orange juice and blend until smooth. Place the wings in a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Remove the wings from the bag, place on the lined sheets and bake 20 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the marinade to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook until reduced by one-third, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the wings from the oven and brush with the glaze. Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F and continue to bake until the wings are cooked through, 20 more minutes.

Steps:

• Line a sheet tray with a wire rack. Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, separate the chicken wings into drummettes and wings, discarding the wing tip joint.
• In a large paper bag add the flour, 2 tablespoons of salt and about 5 grinds of black pepper. In batches, toss the chicken wings in the bag until fully coated with flour. Place the coated wings on the wire rack at room temperature until the flour appears to be invisible or soaked into the skin, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile make the coating: In a small saute pan over medium-low heat, add the paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Toast the spices while tossing constantly to avoid burning until they are fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove the spices from the heat and allow to cool completely. Once cooled add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and the sugar. Place in a bowl or paper bag for tossing.
• In a large pot, heat oil until a deep fry thermometer reaches 375 degrees F. Working in batches, add the chicken and fry until cooked through and crispy, 10 to 13 minutes each batch. Remove from oil and immediately add the fried wings to the bowl or paper bag filled with the coating and toss. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat vegetable shortening until a deep-fry thermometer reaches 375 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with a wire rack.
• Using kitchen shears or a sharp knife, separate the chicken wings into the drummettes and wings, discarding the wing tip joint.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt and black pepper. In a paper bag, shake together flour, cornstarch and 1 tablespoon salt. Place chicken in egg mixture and toss well to coat. Place chicken in batches in the bag of flour mixture. Shake well to coat. Set on wire rack to let coating set, 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile make the Honey BBQ Sauce and the Spicy Butter Sauce. In a small saucepan, bring the ingredients for the Honey BBQ Sauce to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and cook until sauce has reduced by half, about 12 minutes, stirring frequently. In another saucepan, bring the ingredients for the Spicy Butter Sauce to a simmer. Remove from heat and let basil infuse in butter for at least 15 minutes. Remove basil.
• When oil is at the right temperature, add chicken, working in batches, and fry until cooked through and crispy, about 13 minutes. Season chicken with salt then immediately toss, taking turns with batches, in the Honey BBQ sauce, or the Spicy Butter Sauce or sprinkle with the lemon and lime zest.
• Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large heavy-bottomed pot, pour in enough oil to fill the pot about a third of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted into the oil reaches 350 degrees F.
• Line a sheet tray with a wire cooling rack. Slice chicken into 2-inch pieces. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cayenne, salt and black pepper to taste. In a paper bag, shake together salt, pepper, flour and cornstarch. Dip the chicken in batches, first in egg mixture, then in the flour mixture and shake to coat. Set on a wire rack and let sit 10 minutes. While chicken is resting, prepare sauce. In a large straight sided saute pan combine orange zest, orange juice, brown sugar, butter, hot pepper flakes and Worcestershire sauce. Stir, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Carefully place chicken in hot oil and fry until golden and crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to the saute pan with the sauce and toss until evenly coated. Remove to a serving platter and serve on Stormy Rice.
• In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and rice and saute 4 minutes, stirring, so that the rice toasts and the garlic cooks. Add the chicken broth to the rice mixture, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit covered another 5 minutes. Stir in the peanuts, scallions, and salt and pepper, to taste. Rice can be made 1 day ahead, then warmed and combined with other ingredients before serving.

Steps:

• Prep the rub: Pour about an inch of olive oil into a small pan over medium heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the rosemary and cook, turning the sprigs, until the leaves darken and become crispy, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Add the sage to the same pan and cook until the leaves darken, slightly curl and stop sizzling, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• In a dry medium pan over low heat, combine the cumin, red pepper flakes, peppercorns and garlic powder. Toast the spices, tossing constantly to avoid burning, until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
• Remove the rosemary leaves from their stems, then put the herbs and spices in a spice grinder and pulse until finely chopped and combined. Remove and add 1 tablespoon salt.
• Prep the wings: Massage the wings with the herb rub and place them on a wire rack set inside a baking sheet. Let the rub set at room temperature, about 30 minutes. While the wings rest, preheat the oven to 400˚.
• Bake the wings: Transfer the baking sheet with the rack and wings to the oven and bake until the wings are crispy, flipping halfway through, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Separate the chicken wings into drummettes and wings, discarding the wing tip joint. Place chicken wings and drummettes into a large, zip-top plastic bag or large brown paper bag. In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Add the seasoned flour to the plastic bag and toss to coat well.
• Pour the chicken pieces and excess flour onto a baking sheet and spread evenly. Allow the chicken to sit on the floured baking sheet to dry out for about 1 hour.
• Preheat fryer or a large stockpot filled halfway with vegetable oil to 350 degrees F.
• Add chicken to hot oil and fry until cooked through and crispy, about 10 to 13 minutes.
• Place the wings in a large bowl and drizzle with half of Sunny's Sauce. Toss to coat well. Serve hot with the remaining Sunny's Sauce and Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce.
• Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and set aside until ready to use.
• Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine. Serve immediately or store, covered and refrigerated, for up to 1 week before serving.
