MADNESS

  • 2 to 4 pounds of thawed wings.
  • 1/4 cup white flour.
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch.
  • 1.5 to 2 heaping teaspoons of baking powder (DO NOT use baking soda!).
  • 1 tsp salt, Accent, or unseasoned meet tenderizer.
  • 1 tsp paprika.
  • 1 tsp Garlic or Onion Powder.

METHOD (Grilling)

  • Thaw and pat dry the wings.
  • In a small mixing bowl combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and assorted spices.
  • In a large freezer bag mix the wings with the dry ingredients.  Shake well until wings are equally covered.
  • Get all of your burners running high until your grill temperature has gone over 400F/205C degrees. 
  • As your grill heats up, use your wire brush to clean off the grates and then apply some high smoking point fat to prevent the wings from sticking (dabbing a thick paper towel into some Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil, or melted shortening will do the trick).
  • Spread your wings out over the grates, close the grill, and reduce the flame to medium high. 
  • While keeping your heat between 400F/205C & 450F/232C, flip wings every 2 to 3 minutes to prevent any burning.
  • Continue cooking for 12 to 20 minutes.  Time will vary depending on your grill.
  • Place wings in a bowl with a generous amount of your favorite sauce and toss to coat.
  • Serve with celery and ranch or blue cheese!

METHOD (Oven)

  • Thaw and pat dry the wings.
  • In a small mixing bowl combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and assorted spices.
  • In a large freezer bag mix the wings with the dry ingredients.  Shake well until wings are equally covered.
  • Preheat oven to 250F/120C.
  • Space the wings out evenly over a lightly oiled baking sheet.
  • Put wings in the oven for 30 minutes on 250F/120C.
  • At the end of 30 minutes leave the wings in the oven, but bump the heat up to 425F/220C and set the timer for another 30 minutes.
  • At the end of 30 minutes on the increased temperature, remove the wings from the oven and flip them.
  • Put the wings back in the oven for an additional 30 minutes at 425F/220C.
  • Remove wings from oven.  Even with oil the wings will stick to the baking sheet, but peel off nicely after resting for a few minutes.
  • Place wings in a bowl with a generous amount of your favorite sauce and toss to coat.
  • Serve with celery and ranch or blue cheese!
