Crispy Chipotle Wings

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

Chicken wings are my favorite dish, and I sure have made them a lot of different ways with lots of different sauces. From homemade, to bottled, I can’t get enough wings. I’ll make them at home, and I’ll eat them at restaurants or bars. It’s hard to pick a favorite… until now. These crispy chipotle wings are my all-time favorites. A little heat, a little smokiness, and a little sweet. Everything you could want in a wing, and crunchy to boot. Grab some paper towels and scoot up to the table and get busy!

Crispy Chipotle Wings

I made these crispy chipotle wings on my Char-Broil Big Easy. Used to be, I couldn’t get super-crispy wings in the Big Easy without finishing them on a grill. Not any more. My crispy wing technique gets it done and done good on the Big Easy or in the oven. Give it a shot. It’s as good as deep-fried but without the oil.

I absolutely love chicken wings, cooked any way, with any sauce (or without). I love them so much that I created a free eCookbook that is full of my favorite wing recipes.

Crispy Wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy

Visit my other site, For The Wing, for all things chicken-wing!

I have cooked a LOT of chicken wings on my Char-Broil Big Easy. It’s my favorite way to cook wings, other than deep frying. The Big Easy cooks wings so easily and quickly. I usually finish off the wings over a hot grill to get a bit of a crunch on the skin. Well, no more. Crispy wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy are fantastic!

Now I can get delicious, tender, moist, crunchy wings on the Big Easy without grilling them afterwards. These crispy wings are fantastic. I won’t do wings any other way again, and that includes deep frying. This is it, the way to do wings.

Buffalo Wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy

The key to getting the wings crispy is to dry out the skin so that takes on a good crunch under the high heat of the Big Easy. If you don’t have a Big Easy, you should get one. Until then, you can also make these crispy wings in the oven.

I used my Wingin’ator 3000 basket when I cooked up these wings so that I can cook more at once than I could with the basket that comes with the Big Easy. You can also pick up a bunk bed basket (see the link below) that doubles the amount of room you’ll have for cooking wings. You don’t want to crowd the wings into the cooker or they won’t cook evenly.

Spicy Chicken Wings with Apple Onion Dip

If you follow this blog at all you know that I’m a huge fan of chicken wings, and in particular, wings that are cooked on the Char-Broil The Big Easy TRU-Infrared Oil-less Turkey Fryer. I made a simple modification to our Big Easy that lets me cook a big batch of wings at once. They take less than an hour and always come out fantastic, like these spicy chicken wings with apple onion dip. Of course you can cook your wings using whatever you have, from a gas grill to a deep fryer to a convection oven!

Spicy Chicken Wings with Apple Onion Dip

These spicy chicken wings with apple onion dip have a wonderful savory flavor. The apple onion dip is fantastic, and would also work great for dipping chips, crackers, vegetables… you name it.

Also try my Teriyaki wings.
