Orange Pepper Wings Recipe

Tossed in a flavorful citrus orange pepper sauce, these wings are so delicious. If you’re a fan of my lemon pepper wings, I think you should give these saucy wings a try. I love to serve them with a side of fresh hot French fries & sometimes a side of cajun corn.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ to 2 Ibs Wings
  • Oil for frying
  • 1 to 2 Eggs
  • ½ to 1 Tbsp Hot sauce
  • 1 Cup Flour
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch for crispier wings
  • 2 tsp Chef Paul’s poultry seasoning or Chicken seasoning
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Onion powder
Orange pepper sauce:
  • 1 to 1 ½ tsp orange marmalade
  • 2 to 4 Oranges Fresh juice
  • ½ tsp orange pepper seasoning
  • ½ Stick Butter
*The amount of oranges (fresh juice) you need will vary, depends on how much chicken you're preparing. So, keep that in mind. You want enough orange pepper sauce to coat all the wings.

Method
 

  1. Clean & prep the chicken wings, cut them into drumettes and wingettes. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  2. Season the wings with Chef Paul’s poultry seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix.
  3. In a bowl mix the egg and hot sauce until well combined. Dip the chicken in the egg mixture. Shake off excess.
  4. Coat the chicken in the flour and allow it to rest for 10 minutes on a wire rack. Optional: For extra crispy wings- add some cornstarch to the flour.
  5. Heat the oil for frying, and once it reaches a good temperature 350°F and 375°F add the breaded chicken.
  6. Fry the wings for 12 to 15 minutes, or until fully cooked. Remove from the oil & drain on a cooling rack with paper towels underneath to catch excess oil.
Orange Pepper Sauce:
  1. In the meantime, make the orange pepper sauce. In a pot, melt the butter over medium low heat. Add the marmalade, fresh orange juice, orange pepper seasoning and mix everything until well combined.
  2. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2 to 4 minutes, do a taste test and make any adjustments if needed.
  3. Toss the wings into the sauce until well coated.
  4. Serve immediately, Enjoy.
