Ingredients
Chicken:
4 pounds chicken wings, drums and flats (wing tips not attached)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Nonstick cooking spray, for the rack
M-80 Wing Sauce:
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup chile sambal
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and warm
1/4 cup minced hot giardiniera, drained of oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Poppy seeds, for garnish
Directions
- For the chicken: Put the chicken in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the baking powder and salt over the wings and toss until the wings are coated.
- Fit a sheet pan with a wire rack and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack. Leave uncovered in the fridge overnight. (This ensures super crispy skin.)
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Set a rack in a lower-middle position in the oven. Bake the wings until golden brown and crispy, rotating halfway through cooking, 45 to 50 minutes.
- For the sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, sambal, soy sauce, vinegar and butter. Stir in the giardiniera. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Toss the hot wings with the M-80 Sauce until evenly coated. Spread out on a long dish, so there is not a lot of overlap. Top with the poppy seeds!
