Chicken wings

I made some chicken wings tonight. Usually for the sauce I start with Frank's hot sauce and doctor it up a bit, but today I made a more custom sauce... the first time I've really done that.

Wings

  • pre-heat oven to 400, place a cast iron skillet inside
  • pat wings dry with napkins
  • when the oven's hot, take the skillet out and put it on the stovetop, high heat
  • add a thin layer of ghee
  • put the wings in the skillet for a few minutes on each side, to crisp up the skin a bit
  • put the skillet in the oven for 25 minutes
  • take the skillet out, turn wings, back in oven for 25 minutes

Sauce

Make the sauce while the wings are cooking...

  • add some chicken stock and butter to a saucepan, medium heat
  • throw some herbs and a bay leaf in there
  • after a few minutes, add a can of tomato sauce
  • add white wine vinegar, honey, garlic powder, cayenne, red chili flakes, smoked paprika, a bit of lemon olive oil and rosemary olive oil, black pepper
  • simmer and reduce while the chicken cooks, tweaking ingredients as necessary
  • five minutes before the wings are done, take the pan off the stove
  • salt to taste
  • pour sauce through a strainer into a bowl, using a spoon to press the thicker parts through
  • take the wings out of the oven, let rest for five minutes, toss them in the sauce
