The Kansas City Star shared a recipe from Chef Jason Bowers of 12 Baltimore Cafe in the Hotel Phillips downtown Kansas city that I have to put on my list of wing recipes and wanted to share. The basis of the recipe is the marinade which consists of brown sugar, cayenne pepper, pepper, garlic, and 3 pints of beer. For cooking they suggest either baking or frying the wings. With as many wings as I’ve made at home, my vote is always with frying. Although baking is definitely the healthier cooking method if that is a concern for you. Here at aWingThing.Com we tend to throw caution to the wind in favor of flavor. A link to the article is below as well as the recipe. Enjoy.

Marinade:
1 Pint
1/4 cup of Salt
1/4 cup of Brown Sugar
1 tblspoon on Cayenne Pepper
1 tblspoon Crushed Red Pepper
6 peeled whole Garlic Cloves
1 tblspoon Black Peppercorns
3 pints Boulevaurd Bully Porter Beer

Bring mixture to a boil. Remove from heat and add 3 pints Boulevard Bully! Porter beer. Cool mixture completely.

In a large glass dish with tall sides, place 10 pounds of chicken wings in a single layer and cover completely with beer mixture. Marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
To cook, preheat oven to 375 degrees. Remove wings from brine and place on a greased sheet pan in the oven for 20 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Wings can also be deep-fried for a crispy skin. Serve with your favorite hot sauce, ranch or blue cheese dressing, and carrots and celery. Serves 5 to 6 people.

    Made myself some wings based mostly on this recipe.

    I didn’t have any porters laying around (I drink them too quick) so I used Guinness.

    Deep fried the wings in peanut oil after 2 days marinading. Tasted great, even without sauce. Even better with Frank’s redhot with crushed garlic.

    Thanks.

    PS: More recipes please!

    I think any, good, full flavored beer would work well for this recipe. Sounds like they turned out great. We love making wings at home.
