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!

Drunken BBQ Chicken Wings

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

I normally roast my wings in my Big Easy or grill them over charcoal, so I was a little skeptical about this recipe for drunken BBQ chicken wings where the wings are slow-cooked in a Dutch oven. But, to my surprise, the final result was incredibly tasty and oh-so-tender. You’ll love the BBQ sauce on these wings. It’s a very traditional ketchup-based sauce with beer added in for a nice change.

Drunken BBQ Chicken Wings

To get a little crisp and color on my drunken BBQ chicken wings, I put the wings under the broiler for a few minutes after they were completely cooked. You can also cook these wings in a crockpot. You’ll still want to brown them under the broiler a bit before serving. Or better yet, toss them on a hot grill for a bit.

I store my homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out thirty minutes to an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot food!

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds chicken wings cut into flats and drumettes, tips removed (reserve for making chicken stock)
  • 1 bottle beer
  • 2 tablespoons your favorite BBQ seasoning

For the BBQ sauce:

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325 F.
  • Cover the bottom of a large Dutch oven with the wings.
  • Sprinkle with the BBQ rub. Add another layer of wings and rub until all of the wings are in the pot.
  • Slowly add the bottle of beer to the pot.
  • Cover the pot with foil (unless yours has a very tight-fitting lid) and add the lid.
  • Place in oven for about an hour or until the chicken is done, but not quite falling off the bone.
  • Meanwhile, make the BBQ sauce by combining the remaining ingredients in a small pot over medium heat.
  • Whisk to combine.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and continue simmering for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from heat until ready to use.
  • Remove pot from oven.
  • Transfer wings to a rack over a baking pan.
  • Baste wings with the sauce.
  • Place under broiler for a few minutes until starting to brown.
  • Flip wings, baste again, and place back under the broiler for a minute.
  • Flip wings one more time, baste, and place under broiler until they are the color you desire.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

To make these wings in a crockpot

  • Follow the directions above, except layer the wings in the bottom of a crockpot.
  • Cover and cook on low 5-6 hours.
  • Transfer to a rack or baking pan and place under the broiler until golden brown.

Notes

Store leftover wings in the fridge. Reheat in a 325 F oven for 15 minutes.

Rosemary Chicken Wings with Herb Dipping Sauce

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

These rosemary chicken wings with a herb dipping sauce wings were a fantastic change from traditional Buffalo-like wings. The flavor is just like that of a whole roasted chicken, but served as easy finger food. The herb dipping sauce really complements the herby flavor of the chicken. I served them with Ranch dressing too, but honestly, you won’t need it.

Rosemary Chicken Wings with Herb Dipping Sauce

I made the wings on my Char Broil Big Easy, using the Wingin’ator 3000 modification. You can make them in the oven or on your grill instead.

Deluxe Teriyaki Wings

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

Like our other favorite version of teriyaki wings, our deluxe Teriyaki wings disappeared in no time at all. The sauce is a little sweet and sticky yummy. If I’m in a spicy-wings mood I add a bit of red pepper flake to the sauce. If i’m in a very-spicy-wings mood I’ll add hot sauce, Sriracha or hot chili paste.

Deluxe Teriyaki Wings

I cook my wings on my Char-Broil The Big Easy TRU-Infrared Oil-less Turkey Fryer using the Wingin’ator 3000 modification, but you can grill them or cook them in the oven and they’ll come out just fine.

My first version of Teriyaki wings are just as great.

Honey Cholula Wing Sauce

This honey Cholula wing sauce is the perfect sauce for chicken wings. A little sweet, a little heat. As much as I like traditional Buffalo wing flavors, this is a welcome change. The hot sauce does not overwhelm, and that’s just what I was looking for.

Honey Cholula Wing Sauce

Sure, you can use other hot sauces when you make honey Cholula wing sauce. I really like Cholula for the flavor and the amount of heat. It’s spicy, but not too spicy. It’s not screaming hot. I think it’s a great middle-of-the-road hot sauce and a pleasure to eat!
