Wicked Hot WingsErika Lenkert October 2007 TWELVE SERVINGS Prep Time: 10 min Cook Time: 20 min Half 12-ounce can sliced pickled jalapeño chiles, juice reserved Vegetable oil, for frying 1 cup flour 2 1/2 pounds chicken wings (about 36), tips discarded 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper
1. Preheat the oven to 200°. Using a food processor, finely chop the jalapeños. Add the jalapeño juice and puree until nearly smooth. Pour into a large bowl and set aside. 2. Fill a large, deep skillet or heavy pot with enough oil to reach a depth of 1 inch. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it registers 350° on a deep-fry thermometer. 3. Place the flour in a shallow bowl. Season the chicken with the salt and pepper, then coat with the flour, shaking off any excess. Working in batches, carefully add the floured wings to the hot oil and cook, turning with a slotted spoon, until golden-brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to drain; keep warm in the oven. Toss the warm wings in the jalapeño puree before serving. |
