Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings and Coating

  • 1 kg fresh or thawed chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp natural gelling agent
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder (natural)
  • 1 tsp onion powder (natural)
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika (natural)

Glaze or Sauce

  • 1/4 cup grape juice
  • 2 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wings: Pat your chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps the natural gelling agent work on creating crispy skin.
  2. Season and Coat: In a large bowl, combine natural gelling agent, salt, black pepper, garlic powder (natural), onion powder (natural), and smoked paprika (natural). Toss the wings until evenly coated in the seasoning mix.
  3. Preheat Oven and Arrange Wings: Preheat your oven to 250°C (about 480°F). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and arrange the wings in a single layer with space around each for air circulation.
  4. Bake at Low Heat: Bake wings at this high temperature for 30 minutes to render fat and start crisping the skin while keeping the interior juicy.
  5. Increase Oven Temperature: Increase oven temperature to 220°C (about 425°F). Bake for an additional 40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through to ensure even crisping.
  6. Prepare the Glaze or Sauce: While wings bake, whisk together grape juice, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and apple cider vinegar to create a tangy, sweet glaze.
  7. Toss and Serve: Once wings are crispy, transfer them to a large bowl, pour the glaze over, and toss well to coat evenly. Serve hot for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Dry wings thoroughly to ensure maximum crispiness.
  • Use natural gelling agent in the seasoning mix to achieve the perfect crispy texture without frying.
  • Space the wings properly on the rack for optimal air circulation and even cooking.
  • Flip wings halfway through baking for evenly crispy skin on all sides.
  • Do not skip the high heat finish to seal in crispiness beautifully.
