Ailes de poulet glacées au bourbon, collantes et croustillantes

Ingrédients

• 3 lbs chicken wings, party-cut
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp neutral oil
• 1/2 cup bourbon whiskey
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Préparation

1. 1

   Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, toss the wings with neutral oil, baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

3. 3

   Arrange the wings in a single layer on a wire cooling rack set over a rimmed baking sheet.

4. 4

   Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until deep golden-brown and crisp.

5. 5

   While wings are roasting, combine bourbon, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, brown sugar, and cayenne pepper in a saucepan.

6. 6

   Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer for 8–10 minutes until the liquid reduces by half and becomes a syrupy glaze.

7. 7

   Remove wings from the oven and immediately toss them in a bowl with the warm bourbon glaze.

8. 8

   Return the glazed wings to the oven under the broiler for 2–3 minutes until the sauce bubbles and caramelizes.
