True Wings
While not a copycat recipe, this dry rub is inspired by one of my favorite local treats.
Recipe Summary True Wings
Since I started making this back in the 90's I've called them my world-famous wings. I wanted to make wings for the big game and wanted them to be something better than just fried wings. Serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing.Ingredients | Wing Dry Seasoning Recipe4 pounds chicken wings1 ½ tablespoons garlic powder1 tablespoon onion powder1 tablespoon paprika1 tablespoon chili powder1 tablespoon cumin1 (1.41 ounce) package sazon seasoning1 teaspoon cayenne pepper4 cups oil for fryingcooking spray½ cup butter1 ½ cups hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot ®)1 ½ cups maple-flavored syrup3 tablespoons brown sugar1 ½ tablespoons garlic powder1 tablespoon ground cumin1 tablespoon onion powder1 tablespoon paprika1 tablespoon chili powder¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper2 cups all-purpose flourDirectionsPlace wings in a large glass bowl. Sprinkle 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 tablespoon cumin, sazon seasoning, and 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper over chicken wings and rub spices into wings to coat completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 1 hour to overnight.Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; whisk hot sauce and syrup into butter. Add brown sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons garlic powder, 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 tablespoon chili powder, and 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper; whisk until well-combined and the sauce is hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.Pour flour into a shallow bowl. Gently press the chicken wings into the flour to coat and shake off any excess.Working in batches, cook wings in hot oil until the skin is golden and crispy, the meat is no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer wings to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain excess oil.Dip each chicken wing in the hot sauce mixture and place on the prepared baking sheet.Bake in the preheated oven until sauce starts to caramelize, about 20 minutes.The nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of the flour. The actual amount of the flour consumed will vary. We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.Info | Wing Dry Seasoning Recipeprep: 15 mins cook: 30 mins additional: 1 hr total: 1 hr 45 mins Servings: 10 Yield: 10 servings
