Ram (Rosemary, Ancho, Molasses) Wings image

Flavored with rosemary, ancho, and molasses, these chicken wings honor this year's Super Bowl® teams, one being the Los Angeles Rams and the other which shall not be named. You'll use the easiest of methods to produce the most crowd-pleasing, finger-messing 'sticky wings.' The technique simply involves soaking wings in a sweet, spicy marinade, baking them wet, and then tossing them with a finishing glaze.

Time 5h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ½ pounds chicken wing sections
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons ancho chile powder
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon molasses, or more to taste
2 teaspoons molasses
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 pinch salt
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 lime, juiced
1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Place chicken wings in a bowl. Add oil, salt, rosemary, ancho chile powder, cayenne pepper, vinegar, and molasses. Toss with a spatula until thoroughly combined. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 to 12 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat.
  • Spread wings out onto the baking sheet. Add any marinade left in the bowl.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until meat pulls cleanly off the bone, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • While wings are baking, make the finishing glaze. Whisk molasses, honey, chile powder, salt, cayenne, and lime juice in a large bowl.
  • Immediately transfer hot wings into the glaze. Toss until coated and let sit for 5 minutes. Toss briefly a second time. Plate the wings and serve with lime wedges and a pinch of ancho.
