Chili Onion Ranch Chicken Wings
TIPS & THINGS TO KNOW:
Spice Level:
Adjust the chili powder, chili flakes and green chilis according to your spice tolerance. Add more if you like the heat or use less/eliminate if you prefer them mild.
Curry Powder:
I am using Jaffna curry powder for this recipe however feel free to use what every you have and like.
Marination Time:
Marinate your wings for however long you have. I like to do them overnight so the salt and seasoning penetrate further into the meat.
Achieving nicely browed wings in the oven:
Whenever I air fry my wings they turn out nice and brown. Sometimes that is not always the case for the oven so I do have some tips for that.
This first thing you should do is spread the wings out on your baking tray without them touching. What I am basically trying to say is do not overcrowd your pan or your wings will steam not brown.
Using a pan with a baking rack is the closest way to achieve that air fried affect in the oven. I purchased mine about a year ago and it is my favourite baking vessel to use. I always regret not purchasing and using one sooner. Click here for a similar version of the baking pans I have.
Lastly, you can CRANK UP THE HEAT to about 450 degrees F for the last 5 minutes of the cooking process or broil on high heat for 1-2 minutes on one side, flip and broil for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Ingredients
For Marination:
For Garlic Butter Sauce:
For Topping:
Instructions
-
To your chicken wings add olive oil, all purpose seasoning, Montreal steak spice, onion powder, and garlic powder. Combine and marinate for a few hours or overnight.
-
Mix well and marinate in the fridge for as long as you have, but preferably overnight.
-
Air Fry or bake in the oven at 400 degrees F until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. If you do not have a meat thermometer you want to cook the chicken wings until they are browned and the juices run clear (no pink meat, juices, or blood).
-
When the chicken wings are done baking you want to make the garlic butter to toss onto the wings. Heat a pan over low-medium heat and cook your minced garlic in butter for 45 seconds (don’t brown the garlic just lightly cook it).
-
To the garlic butter add in the paprika and chili flakes. Turn the heat off and stir for 10-15 seconds.
-
Pour the garlic butter sauce over your cooked chicken wings and toss.
-
Drizzle on some ranch dressing.
-
Sprinkle with onions, green chilis and paprika. Enjoy!
