Method: |
1. |
Combine kosher salt and sugar. |
2. |
Pour hot water over the the wet brine ingredients and mix with a whisk until dissolved (water will be clear when dry ingredients are fully dissolved). |
3. |
Add ice and stir until ice melts. |
4. |
Pour wet brine over wings and refrigerate for two hours. |
5. |
Drain brine, remove any ginger pieces and let dry in refrigerator overnight (uncovered). |
6. |
Make the dry rub by combining all of the ingredients in a bowl. |
7. |
Once the wings have dried overnight in the refrigerator, toss them in the dry rub spice blend until coated. |
8. |
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and roast the coated wings on a rack-lined sheet tray, flipping halfway through the cooking process, about 30-35 minutes (internal temperature of 165 degrees F). Cook for an additional 10 minutes if you want fall-off-the-bone meat. |
9. |
While wings are in the oven, prepare the maple chipotle sauce by blending all of the ingredients until smooth. |
10. |
Once wings are finished, toss them in the maple chipotle sauce and serve with ranch or bleu cheese dressing and crudités. |
