Description

Imagine biting into a perfectly roasted chicken wing, the skin crisp and glistening with a sweet and spicy glaze. These wings aren't just cooked; they're transformed through a careful process of marinating and repeated basting, ensuring that every inch is infused with flavor. The journey begins with a generous application of spices, setting the stage for the layers of taste to come.

The wings are then bathed in a vibrant sauce, a harmonious blend of sweet and spicy notes, with garlic and jalapeno taking center stage. Each roasting session deepens the complexity, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate. To balance the heat, a refreshing pineapple coleslaw accompanies the wings.

The juicy sweetness of fresh pineapple, combined with the crispness of cabbage, offers a delightful contrast. A zesty citrus marinade ties it all together, creating a side that's both cooling and invigorating. The coleslaw acts as a palate cleanser, preparing you for the next flavorful bite of chicken.

The beauty of this recipe lies in its adaptability. For those who prefer a milder experience, the heat can be easily adjusted. Simply omit the chili powder from the initial seasoning, or reduce the amount of jalapeno and red pepper flakes in the sauce.

The goal is to create a dish that caters to your individual preferences, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the explosion of flavors. Preparing the wings is a breeze. A simple slice at the joint separates the wingette and drumette, allowing for even cooking and maximum flavor penetration.

You can also choose to remove the wing tip, though many appreciate the crispy skin and concentrated spices it offers. Whether enjoyed as a satisfying lunch, a crowd-pleasing dinner, or a standout dish at a barbecue, these wings and coleslaw are sure to impress. The combination of textures and flavors is simply irresistible, making it a dish you'll want to make again and again.

Instructions

    1.
    Prepare the chicken wings at least 6 hours before you want to cook them or the night before. Cut whole chicken wings into separate You wing You s You and You dings You , if you wish. Add the chicken wings to a large mixing bowl, and season them with seasoned salt, pepper, chili powder, onion powder, paprika, and cumin. Toss or fold the chicken wings until they You re coated in the seasonings. Transfer the chicken wings to a large Ziploc bag, and marinate the wings in your refrigerator for 6 hours or more, up to 24.
    2.
    When it You s closer to cooking time, make the sweet jalapeno sauce. Combine the chicken broth, minced garlic, minced jalapeno, red pepper flakes, and liquid stevia in a pot. Heat the pot on your stove until the broth is simmering. Then, remove about You cup of liquid, and stir cornstarch into the You -cup until the cornstarch dissolves. Return the thickened liquid to the simmering pot. Let the sauce bubble over low heat until it reduces and thickens enough to leave a glossy coat on the back of a spoon. Set the finished sauce aside to cool and continue thickening.
    3.
    Turn on the oven to preheat to 400 degrees. Spray a baking rack liberally with pan spray and place the rack over a sheet tray to catch drippings. Arrange the chicken wings on the baking rack, and set them straight into the oven. Cook the chicken wings for 20 minutes, then remove them from the oven. Brush a thin layer of the jalapeno sauce over the chicken wings.
    4.
    Return the chicken wings to the oven to bake for a second round. This time, cook the wings only for 10 minutes before removing them from the oven again. Use a pair of tongs to flip each chicken wing over. Then, brush the jalapeno sauce over the other side of the wings. Cook the wings in your oven for a final round of 20 minutes, totaling 50 minutes of time in the oven.
    5.
    While the chicken wings are cooking in the oven, make the coleslaw. Shred fresh green cabbage into a mixing bowl. You can also use shredded cabbage from a bag of dry coleslaw, but avoid using any other ingredients from the bag, like carrots. Dice fresh pineapple or pineapple from a can and the jalapeno. Diced ingredients are best for coleslaw, but you can leave larger pieces of pineapple or jalapeno if you wish. Add the diced ingredients to the cabbage, along with salt, lime juice, diced cilantro, and mayonnaise. Stir to combine.
    6.
    Cover the mixing bowl and let the coleslaw marinate in your refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but you can marinate for longer. When the chicken wings finish cooking in your oven, let them cool for 5 minutes. Then, add the chicken wings to a clean, large mixing bowl. Pour all remaining sweet jalapeno sauce over the wings, and toss them with the sauce until they You re coated. Serve approximately 3 pieces of chicken wings with about 3 You ounces of coleslaw.
