Crispy Whiskey Wings

I have made a lot of different chicken wing recipes. I've even won recipe contests with my chicken wings. But, for this event, I wanted to do something with whiskey in the sauce. It was a hit!

Ingredients (serves 6-8)
  • 4 to 5 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and wings (tips discarded)
  • 1/4 C olive oil
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper

Whiskey Mustard Sauce
  • 1 C chicken stock
  • 3 T whiskey
  • 1 to 2 T minced garlic (depending on how garlicky you like things)
  • 2 t ground mustard 
  • freshly ground salt
  • freshly ground pepper


Procedure
Preheat the oven to 450° F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place wings - skin side up - on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them for 45 to 50 minutes. They will be cooked through and the skin nicely browned and crisped.

While the wings roast,whisk all of the remaining ingredients together to in a large skillet. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until thickened.


When the wings are done, add them to the sauce. and toss to coat, using clongs...or tongs. Serve hot.

  1. You had me at whiskey. How do you make wings better? Add booze, of course.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce...
