Garlic Parmesan wings

Ingredients

• 2 pounds chicken wings
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup butter
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
• Parsley for garnish - if desired

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 
• Blend together all-purpose flour, seasoned salt, cayenne pepper, and ground black pepper. 
• Cut wings and dredge them in the flour.
• Heat oil to 350 degrees, use either a deep fryer, or a large heavy pot. Deep fry wings for about 5 to 7 minutes, and then drain on a wire rack. Depending upon the side of your pot fry 5 or 6 wings at a time. Be sure to stir the wings once during cooking to make sure that the wings cook evening. 
• Cook the wings until they just begin to brown. Bake wings for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
• Prepare the sauce by melting the butter and the garlic powder in a small pan. When the wings have finished cooking in the oven place the wings into a large bowl. Stir in half of the Parmesan cheese into the melted butter. Pour the melted garlic butter over the wings and toss until the wings are well coated. Serve the wings by sprinkling the remaining Parmesan cheese top of the wings.

Bang Bang chicken

Ingredients

• 8 chicken wings 
• 1/2 cup Corn Starch
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon  seasoned salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• vegetable oil for frying
• 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon honey
• fresh parsley, for garnish

  Instructions

  1. Rinse chicken pieces. Crack eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk. In a separate bowl, combine cornstarch and flour. 
  2. Place chicken into the whisked eggs. Sprinkle salt and pepper over chicken and mix with hands. Make sure all of the chicken pieces are coated with the egg mixture.
  3. Coat the chicken piece by piece in the cornstarch mixture. After coating put on a plate until all pieces are coated.
  4. Pour about an inch of oil into a cast iron skillet and heat up on medium. You will know the oil is ready when you put a wooden spoon into the oil and bubbles form around the spoon and rise to the top of the oil.
  5. Working in batches, making sure not to crowd the skillet, carefully place coated chicken pieces into hot oil. I like to use tongs for this part .
  6. Cook the chicken for about 12 minutes or until you see the batter turning a golden brown on the sides. Using the tongs, flip each piece of chicken and continue cooking for another 3-4 minutes, or until the chicken is a nice, golden brown.
  7. Carefully remove the chicken from the skillet and put on a paper-towel lined plate. Repeat until you've cooked all the chicken.
  8. To make the Bang Bang Sauce, pour the sweet chili sauce, hot sauce, mayonnaise, and honey into a small bowl and stir using a fork. Stir until all there are no more lumps
  9. Drizzle the sauce over the cooked chicken. If you have any remaining sauce, save it for dipping.

• 1 1/2 Tbsp Salt
• 1 Tbsp Pepper
• 1 Tsp Ground Cumin

For the Sauce/Broth

• 4 Dried Ancho Chiles
• 4 Dried Guajillo Chiles

• 1 1/2 Tbsp Salt
• 4 Red Tomatoes
• 1/4 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 2 cups Water
• Cilantro 
• 1 bag of Mexican blend cheese

Instructions

Preparation (all methods)

• Season the meat with salt, pepper, and cumin
• Cut open the dried chiles with scissors and remove the seeds
• Fry the dried chiles with a small amount of oil in a frying pan for 2-3 minutes, moving constantly so they don't burn. Set aside
• Add the chiles from the previous step to a small pot with boiling water for about 10 minutes, or until softened. 
• In the same frying pan where you fried the chiles, add 1 tablespoon of oil and cook the onions and tomatoes until they are browned. Add the garlic, peppercorns, bay leaves, cinnamon stick, and all of the remaining spices except for the ground cumin and ginger. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, moving it around often. 
• Add the chiles (including the water), the ingredients from the previous step, and the ginger, cumin, apple cider vinegar and water to a blender and blend until smooth. It will still be pretty thick, but that is fine. Then set aside the resulting sauce for the next step. 
• Pour the sauce over the meat in a large bowl and cover. If using the oven or stovetop methods, you will want to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight. If using the electric pressure cooker option, you can marinate it, but it isn't necessary. 
• Follow the cooking instructions according to your preferred method below. 

Method 1 - Stovetop

• Add the meat with the marinade to a large stockpot and cook over medium heat, covered, for about three hours, or until the meat falls off the bones and is easy to shred. 

Method 2 - Oven 

• Add the meat with the marinade to a large oven-safe dish and cover with aluminum foil and cook at 350 degrees fahrenheit for 2 hours or until the meat is easy to shred. 

Method 3 - Electric Pressure Cooker *Preferred Method

• Add the meat with the marinade (or just the meat and the marinade separately if you chose not to marinate it) to the pot of the electric pressure cooker. 
• Follow instructions for your electric pressure cooker to bring it to high pressure and cook for 45 minutes. Release pressure naturally for 5 minutes and then use the quick pressure release option to release the rest of the pressure. Remove the lid per instructions and the meat will be tender and ready to shred.
