Wings Ingredients

Method

Wings Preparation

  1. 1

    Brine the Wings

    In a large bowl, combine water, salt, sugar, black peppercorns, and crushed garlic cloves. Stir until salt and sugar are dissolved. Add chicken wings to the brine, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.

  2. 2

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Wings

    Remove the wings from the brine and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help them crisp up during cooking.

  4. 4

    Season the Wings

    Toss the wings in your choice of dry rub or sauce until evenly coated.

  5. 5

    Bake the Wings

    Place the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve with additional sauce or dry rub on the side.
