I love the two contrasting textures, the fatty, buttery layer of crispy skin that envelopes the smooth, tender layer of chicken meat. Done right, chicken wings can have as much decadent indulgence as a beautifully marbled ribeye steak. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI also love the challenge that comes with eating a chicken wing. Wings are like the lobsters of poultry – just as sucking on lobster legs rewards those who persevere, wings reward those who nibble on their nooks and crannies. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’ve cooked my fair share of wings, and my secret for the juiciest, most flavorful ones? Beautiful chicken wings don’t have a “set-it-and-forget-it” recipe. However, you MUST brush your wings with marinade every 10 to 15 minutes while cooking! Periodic glazing ensures that you’re continually hydrating the skin and helping the flavor seep into the meat. Don’t worry if it seems like nothing is happening after the first few brushes of marinade. The sugar from the marinade will start to thicken and caramelize, just how your taste buds like it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is one of my favorite chicken wing recipes. I love \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mouth.com\/collections\/vendors?q=One+Culture+Foods\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne Culture Foods’\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e sauces, especially their Fermented Black Bean Sauce. It reminds me of the flavors I experienced at my grandparents’ house growing up. It tastes like home. The savory, spicy sauce has a well-rounded, distinct sweetness followed by a delicious depth of flavor and subtle heat, which makes it good on literally everything.
