Chicken Wings

Pickled Jalapeno

Method

Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken Wings

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with salt and black pepper. Toss well to coat the wings evenly.

  2. 2

    Bake the Wings

    Spread the seasoned chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through.

Pickling Jalapenos

  1. 3

    Prepare the Pickling Solution

    In a small saucepan, combine white vinegar, sugar, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 4

    Pickle the Jalapenos

    Slice the jalapenos into rings and place them in a jar. Pour the hot pickling solution over the jalapenos. Let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve the Wings

    Once the chicken wings are done baking, remove them from the oven. Drizzle with sweet chili sauce, and sprinkle sesame seeds on top. Serve with pickled jalapenos on the side.
