Wing Essentials: Chicken Wings with Mustard Sauce image

I must love chicken wings because I've posted about 5 different recipes for those tasty bites. This one bakes the wings, and uses a South Carolina mustard sauce for dipping. In this recipe, the wings are baked with just a minimum of spices. I did this to enhance the taste experience between the sauce and the wings. In addition, I'm using a high-heat baking method, to insure a nice crispy wing. If my house guests are any indicator of how good these are... there wasn't a single wing left. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

Steps:

  • PREP/PREPARE
  • THE SAUCE
  • Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • Add all the ingredients for the mustard sauce into a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
  • Stir the mixture until you see the first bubbles appear, and then remove from the heat.
  • Allow to cool down on the countertop.
  • Seal in a non-reactive container, and place into the fridge until ready to use.
  • Chef's Tip: If you can manage to wait 24 hours; please do. The flavor of the sauce really does taste better on the second day.
  • THE WINGS
  • Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
  • Add the paprika, salt, and cayenne to a bowl, or Ziploc bag.
  • Add the wings and toss until completely coated.
  • Place into the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour.
  • Set a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 400f (205c).
  • Place the wings on a parchment-lined baking sheet, fitted with a wire rack.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to 425 (220c), flip the wings over, and bake an additional 20 minutes.
  • Chef's Note: During this second baking, keep a close eye on the wings. We want them a lovely golden brown, not black.
  • PLATE/PRESENT
  • Place the wings on a serving plate with the mustard dipping sauce, and stand back. Enjoy.
  • Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
