Crispy Chicken Wings Recipe - Low Fat

You want to know the secret to crispy baked chicken wings?

 

 

Parboiling them before they hit the oven.

 

Seems so wrong? But makes these wings perfectly crispy. 

 

 

INGREDIENTS:

 

1 Kg Chicken Wing Pieces

Sea Salt

2 Tbsps Butter, BIG PERSON Optional

3 Tbsps of Peri Peri Sauce Medium or Hot, BIG PERSON Optional

Dash of Worcestershire Sauce, BIG PERSON Optional

Pinch of Cayenne Pepper, BIG PERSON Optional

 

METHOD:

Preheat the oven to 230 degrees C.

Heat up a big pot of boiling water. Season the water with salt, (like you would for cooking pasta).

Boil the chicken wings for 7-8 minutes, then remove them to a wire rack so the excess water can drain off. Let them drip dry a little bit, then dry them well with paper towel.

Place the chicken wings directly on a lined oven tray.

Bake the chicken wings for 25-30 minutes on one side, then flip the wings and bake for another 5 minutes on the other side.

Serve Immediately.

 

BIG PERSON OPTIONAL EXTRA: In a small saucepan or in the microwave, heat up the peri peri sauce, butter, worcestershire sauce and cayenne pepper, until melted and combined. Toss the hot wings in the sauce, and serve.

Note: about cooking time. Chicken wings may vary in size, so if you have smaller wings, you will probably only need to bake them for a total of 25-30 minutes. 40 minutes for larger wings.
