Chicken is versatile and cooks to perfection when slow cooked with spices, vegetables, sauces or a variety of other ingredients to make a hearty dinner.
Flavored with rosemary, ancho, and molasses, these chicken wings honor this year's Super Bowl® teams, one being the Los Angeles Rams and the other which shall not be named. You'll use the easiest of methods to produce the most crowd-pleasing, finger-messing 'sticky wings.' The technique simply involves soaking wings in a sweet, spicy marinade, baking them wet, and then tossing them with a finishing glaze.Ingredients | Recipes With Chicken Wings In Crock Pot
2 ½ pounds chicken wing sections
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon molasses, or more to taste
2 teaspoons molasses
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 pinch salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 lime, juiced
1 lime, cut into wedges
Directions
Place chicken wings in a bowl. Add oil, salt, rosemary, ancho chile powder, cayenne pepper, vinegar, and molasses. Toss with a spatula until thoroughly combined. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 12 hours.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
Spread wings out onto the baking sheet. Add any marinade left in the bowl.
Roast in the preheated oven until meat pulls cleanly off the bone, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
While wings are baking, make the finishing glaze. Whisk molasses, honey, chile powder, salt, cayenne, and lime juice in a large bowl.
Immediately transfer hot wings into the glaze. Toss until coated and let sit for 5 minutes. Toss briefly a second time. Plate the wings and serve with lime wedges and a pinch of ancho.
To get the most evenly sized sections, buy whole chicken wings and cut them yourself.
If you can't find ancho chili powder, you can use 4 parts paprika mixed with 1 part ground chipotle.
If you don't like taste of molasses, substitute with maple syrup, honey, or brown sugar.
