Superbowl and Chicken Wings go hand-in-hand. These sweet, sticky wings are loaded with ginger, chili, soy, sesame, and combined with local Kentucky soda – Ale-8-One. Yummy topped with thinly sliced scallions, then dipped in an Ale-8-One, honey, soy, and garlic butter sauce.
INGREDIENTS
1¼ cups Ale-8-One soda, divided
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 ¼ pounds chicken wings
¼ cup cornstarch
2 tablespoon grapeseed or canola oil
1 tablespoon sea salt
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon dried chili flakes
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
¼ cup honey
1 clove garlic, minced or pressed in a garlic press
2 teaspoons grated ginger
Scallions, thinly sliced
Toasted sesame seeds
Preheat oven 425°F. Set a cooling rack inside a foil-lined baking sheet.
Whisk together seasoned salt, pepper, cornstarch, and 1 cup of Ale 8 until smooth. Using kitchen scissors, trim the tips from the wings and discard. Cut the wings in half at the joint and place in a plastic bag with the cornstarch mixture. Toss the wings to coat in the mixture and marinate for 30 minutes. Remove from the liquid. Set the wings aside and discard liquid.
Combine the oil, salt, ginger and dried chili flakes in a large bowl. Add the wings and toss to coat. Place on the rack and roast, turning once for 40-45 minutes or until crisp and 165 degrees on a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a wing piece. If the wings are not crispy, place under a broiler to crisp the skin.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan whisk in the remaining Ale 8, soy sauce, honey, and garlic. Heat over medium heat until bubbling and slightly thickened.
Toss the baked wings in half the sauce and sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds on top. Place the other half in a small serving bowl and serve with the wings for dipping. Makes about 2 pounds wings.
