Description

How to make incredibly tender Low and Slow Chicken Wings with crispy skin and a rich sauce that will be your new family favorite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • The Wing Foundation:
  • 3 lbs chicken wings (flats and drumettes)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
  • Flavorful Rub & Sauce Builders:
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • Essential Seasonings:
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • Finishing Touches:
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Blue cheese dressing, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prep Wings: Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels, then toss them with olive oil in a large bowl. In a separate small bowl, combine brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper for the rub.
  2. Rub Wings: Generously sprinkle the prepared spice rub all over the chicken wings, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on a large baking sheet. This ensures even cooking later.
  3. Make Braise: In a saucepan, combine butter, chicken broth, hot sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Bring to a simmer, stirring until butter melts. Pour this flavorful braising liquid over the seasoned chicken wings on the baking sheet.
  4. Braise Wings: Cover the baking sheet tightly with foil. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 40 minutes until the “Low and Slow Chicken Wings” are incredibly tender. They should be nearly falling off the bone.
  5. Crisp Wings: Remove the foil and carefully transfer the tender wings to a clean baking sheet. Increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Return the wings to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes until crispy golden brown.
  6. Sauce Wings: While wings crisp, pour the remaining braising liquid from the first baking sheet into a saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until slightly reduced and thickened. Toss the crispy “Low and Slow Chicken Wings” in this rich sauce.
  7. Serve Wings: Arrange the sauced wings on a platter. Garnish generously with fresh chopped parsley. Serve these ultimate “Low and Slow Chicken Wings” immediately with a side of creamy blue cheese dressing for dipping.

Notes

Always pat wings thoroughly dry before seasoning to ensure crispy skin, preventing steaming.

Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

Feel free to substitute Frank’s RedHot with your favorite hot sauce, adjusting for desired heat and flavor.

Serve warm, garnished with parsley and lemon wedges, alongside blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

Braise wings up to two days ahead; crisp and sauce just before serving for ultimate freshness and texture.
