Ingredients
Chicken Wings and Brine:
1/4 cup kosher salt
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 tablespoons vinegar
2 pounds chicken wings
Pickled Celery:
1 cup vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon pickling spice
5 stalks celery, cut into 2-inch pieces and strings removed
Wing Glaze:
1 cup honey
1/4 cup white vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
Juice of 1 lemon
Favorite dipping sauces, for serving
Directions
- For the chicken wings and brine: Combine the salt, sugar, vinegar and 5 cups water in a nonreactive container and stir until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Put the chicken wings in the brine and marinate, refrigerated, at least 12 hours.
- For the pickled celery: Put the vinegar, sugar and pickling spice in a saucepot. Add the celery and bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from the heat and let the celery cool in the pickling liquid. (You can also store the celery in the pickling liquid.)
- For the wing glaze: Combine the honey, vinegar, soy sauce and lemon juice in a large bowl and mix thoroughly.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Remove the wings from the brine and discard the brine. Put the wings in a roasting pan and bake until a meat thermometer inserted in the wings registers 165 degrees F, about 25 minutes. Toss the hot wings in the wing glaze to coat.
- Serve with the pickled celery and your favorite dipping sauces.
