Cooking Chicken Wings with Sauce Recipes Make a Hot Wings Recipe and BBQ Chicken Wings
I have been cooking chicken wings for many, many years. It is one of my favorite parts of the chicken especially when I am serving a buffet. Although there is little meat on each wing, it is very moist and flavorful. The flavor of wings can be changed easily by adding different sauces.
When I am cooking for a crowd and I am cooking chicken wings, I usually buy one or two 5 pound bags from one of the wholesale clubs. I usually thaw the wings divide it into 3 parts. One third of the bag I will fry as I normally fry chicken. One third I will make Oriental wings and the other third I will make hot wings. These are very flavorful and the crowd always seems to enjoy them as I do.
ORIENTAL WINGS
Mix together:
- 1 Package dry onion soup mix
- 1 Small bottle French dressing
- 1 Jar apricot preserves (10 ounces)
- 4 Tablespoons soy sauce
Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
Place the thawed chicken wings in a large bowl and pour marinade over them. Cover and place in refrigerator overnight. Remove the wings from the liquid and place on a large greased cookie sheet. Bake in oven for 45 minutes or until done.

HOT WINGS
When cooking chicken wings, my favorite recipe is for hot wings and they are so easy to make. Rinse the wings with clean water and drain. Lay wings on paper towels to absorb any excess water. Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy kettle. Carefully place the wings in the hot oil and fry until done and light brown. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Place wings in a flat roaster pan or other flat oven proof dish. To save calories (as if it matters with the sauce) I often bake the wings in the oven instead of frying.
Mix the following ingredients together in a heavy saucepan and heat. Pour over the wings and let set.
In a warm place for 15 minutes for wings to take on the good flavor.
Sauce:
- 1 Bottle hot sauce (12 ounces)
- ½ Cup melted butter
- 1 Tablespoon cider vinegar
