Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Chicken Wings
  • 2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup Taste of the Okangan Beer Blasted Jalapeno Jelly
  • (For a milder heat, try our Jalapeno Gin Jelly, and at Christmas or Thanksgiving try our Cranberry Jalapeno Jelly.)

Instructions
 

For all methods:

  • Use paper towels to pat the wings dry and place them in a large bowl. It's important to dry them REALLY well! Combine the salt, pepper and baking powder in a small bowl. Then sprinkle the seasoning over the wings, tossing to evenly coat.

To Bake:

  • Adjust your oven rack to the upper-middle position. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. 
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack (I use a cooling rack) on top. Spray the rack with non-stick spray. Arrange wings, skin side up, in single layer on prepared wire rack.
  • Bake on the upper middle oven rack, turning every 20 minutes until wings are crispy and browned. The total cook time will depend on the size of the wings but may take up to 1 hour.
  • Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Transfer wings to bowl and toss with Taste of the Okanagan Beer Blasted Jalapeno Jelly.

To Grill:

  • Heat a gas grill to 425 degrees F and lightly oil the grates.
  • Arrange the wings over direct heat. Cover the grill and cook the wings for 15 to 20 minutes, turning over every 5 minutes, until they are fully cooked through (until internal temperature of 165F is reached).
  • Transfer wings to bowl and toss with Taste of the Okanagan Beer Blasted Jalapeno Jelly.

To Air Fry

  • Arrange the wings on the air fryer tray or in the air fryer basket. Then generously spray them with oil.
  • Set the temperature to 380 degrees F for 15 minutes. Then flip the wings, spray with olive oil, and air fry for another 10-15 minutes, until they are cooked through (internal temperature of 165F).
  • Transfer wings to bowl and toss with Taste of the Okanagan Beer Blasted Jalapeno Jelly.
