I would have posted these on Monday because that is when my Beloved Seahawks play their next game, but then I found out it is national taco day on Monday and that kind of flew out the window. I mean all of these “National food Holidays” are a bit silly and a rarely recognize them, but come on. Clearly I have a thing for tacos- so celebrating them I will be doing with some crazy new taco recipe.

In the mean time, I had to bring you these wings for all of your tailgating needs. They are a just a little earlier which may work well for all of you who are watching the rest of the games this weekend.

Honey Balsamic Chicken WIngs

We are laying low. The beginning of the school year germs have hit and I have one kid down already! I hustled out and got my flu shot today just in case. I am taking my well kiddo in for hers tomorrow. I always think those help- I haven’t been sick with the flu since college (knock on wood). I also like vitamin B cocktail injections- have you guys tried those? I think I better grab one of those while I am at it. Also, I think a sweet and zesty batch of these fried chicken wings should help too! Uh, right? Chicken wings as preventative medicine? Honey Balsamic Chicken WIngs

Whatever else they are, they are completely delicious. The sweet and sour sauce is amazing when mixed with the toasty garlic and fresh chives- they are phenomenal and you will definitely need a boat load of napkins!

Recipe: Crispy Honey Balsamic Chicken Wings

Ingredients

  • 2.5 pounds chicken wings (with tips)
  • 
Oil for frying
  • 2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ½ cup balsamic
  • 3 tablespoons fresh minced chives
  • kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse the chicken wings with cold water and drain. Meanwhile prepare a large baking dish with the gluten free flour and salt.
  2. Bring a large heavy pot with several inches of vegetable or peanut oil up to 375 degrees.
  3. While you are waiting for the oil to come to temperature, add the chicken wings to the flour and salt mixture and toss to coat lightly in the flour. You will probably have to do this in two batches (same with the frying.)
  4. When the oil is at the appropriate temperature (I always use a thermometer for deep frying) gently add the chicken wings to the oil.
  5. While the chicken wings are frying (stir and flip occasionally over about 12 minutes) begin the sauce.
  6. In a medium saucepan over medium heat add the oil and the garlic and sauté for a minute or two. Add the honey and the vinegar and whisk together and simmer for 2 minutes.
  7. Remove the golden chicken wings from the fry oil at the 12 minute mark and transfer them to a large bowl.
  8. Add half the sauce (if you have split them into two batches for frying purposes) and toss them to coat. Sprinkle with the chives and sprinkle with kosher salt. Serve hot!
