Chook Me!

Whats the best way to cook some chicken wings ?

They're 2 packs, Tesco Value brand and the back read 'cook at gas mark 6 for 20-25 minutes, poke thickest part of chicken with skewer and let the juices run, if the juices are pink carry on cooking until theyre not' etc heh. okay, can you cook them any other way besides oven/bake ? I want to try frying one - but I'm petrified of how it will turn out. The thing is, I put just one chicken wing in the oven to cook - its a treat for my cat lol. From my experience, she likes KFC, Cottage Chicken, Chicken thats fried and from highstreet chicken fast food joints heh. Will she find the baked variation as tasty ? also, could somebody please tell me the best and simplest way to prepare chicken wings in a southern fried manner ?

1. cant beat a bot of BBQ
2. Line a baking sheet (cookie sheet works great) with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Spray the foil with Pam -- if you don't have Pam, just put some oil in the palm of your hand and rub the oil all over the foil. Place the chicken wings on the foil and salt and pepper them. Bake at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes. Turn the wings over and continue baking for another 30 minutes or so. The wings will come out very crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the outside. Enjoy!!
3. fry in hot peanut or canola oil, 5 min each side.
4. Instructions - Deep Fryer Look into the fryers bottom? Can you see it through the oil? If not change your oil. If you can and the bottom is filled with crumbs and like from past frying extravaganzas then strain the oil into a large part and clean out the fryer. All the debris in the bottom will prevent the oil from heating efficiently and could result in greasy wings. With the fryer clean and oil filled, plug it in so it can begin heating. Breading the Wings (only if deep frying) I bread my wings using the double dip method. This means I dip the wing into the flour, then into the liquid and then back into the flour. Here is my breading recipe: 2 Cups of White Flour 1 Egg 1 Cup of Milk That will do a large package of wings. Add more if you need to. I pour the flour into one mixing bowl. Then I crack the egg into another mixing bowl and add the milk. I'll stir the milk and egg to combine them. Next I get out TWO pie plates. I dip each wing into the flour mixture and then place it on the first pie plate. After they have all been dipped once I dip each into the milk/egg mixture and then place it on the second pie plate. Finally, I dip each back into the flour and back onto the first plate again. Tip: only use one hand for the dipping. Keep the other clean. Frying the Wings If you plan on frying good for you! Otherwise proceed to the next paragraph on baking your wings. Also refer to the Baking or Frying page for more information on frying. Key here is to not add so many wings that it takes a long time for the oil to start bubbling and steaming intensely again. If you have not overloaded the fryer your wings should be done in about 12 minutes. If you have a meat thermometer you can insert it into the meatier part of the drumette and ensure the internal temperature has reached 160 °F. Baking the Wings Using the lowest oven rack bake the wings on a foil-lined pan at 500°F for 20 to 25 min. until crispy, turning once. Saucing the Wings You really should have a large stainless steel mixing bowl for this part. If not, make do with what you have. Place the wings into the bowl and then pour a quantity of sauce over the wings. Remember you want to coat the wings but not soak them. You worked hard to bread them and we want that to stay somewhat crisp. Too much sauce and you'll ruin that. I have a rounded spatula - kind of like a big rubber spoon really - that I use to toss the wings in the sauce. I do this gently as I don't want to be knocking the breading off. Serving the Wings Place the wings on a large platter and pile celery and carrot sticks all around or wherever you like. Serve with traditional blue cheese or ranch style dressing.

6. Deep fry them at about 180C for ten minutes or so (do the same test on one of them) but I've never found a chicken wing with enough meat on it to bother with - they're like duck legs - a bit of a waste of space !
