Crispy Orange Pepper Wings
Crispy Orange Pepper Chicken Wings with Honey & Orange Pepper Glaze
4 pounds chicken wings. Remove tips, cut into flats and drums. You can also buy these precut as well.
6 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
6 teaspoons orange pepper
1 gallon ziplock bag or large bowl to toss wings.
Aluminum foil
Non stick spray
Glaze
Orange Zest
Orange juice from half orange
1/3 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoon Orange Pepper
Heat oven to 250. Place racks in top and bottom positions. Line your baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non stick spray. In a gallon zip lock bag add baking powder, garlic powder, cayenne, smoked paprika and Orange Pepper. Pat dry your chicken pieces on both sides to remove as much moisture as possible. Add half the chicken to the bag and shake to coat. Add to your baking sheet. Coat the remaining chicken and add to the sheet. Place chicken on lower rack for 30 minutes. This slowly renders the fat under the skin and helps make the chicken crispy. After 30 minutes, increase heat to 425 and move chicken to the top rack. Cook for 30-40 minutes. Mix all the ingredients together for the glaze and place in a small pot. Bring to a simmer and let thicken. Pour over the wings. #orangepepperwings #lemon8recipes #momlife #chickenwings #fyp
