Miso Caramel Chicken Wings
If you like salted caramel, you will love these wings. These taste like the best salted caramel you have ever had. On wings!
This recipe, which appeared in the June 2017 issue of BBC Good Food Magazine, is what got me started on the miso journey – adding miso to just about everything I grill or bake to see if it improves the taste. 90% of the time it does!
Look below this recipe for links to more of my miso discoveries and creations.
Miso Caramel Chicken Wings Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 4 tablespoons White Miso
- Up to about 2 pounds Chicken Wings (less, if you prefer – See Note #1 Below)
- Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper, to taste
- 3 1/2 ounces Golden Caster Sugar (See Note #2 Below)
- 1 ounce Butter
- Freshly squeezed Juice of 1/2 Lime
- 1 tablespoons Sesame Seeds
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a small bowl, mix oil with 2 tablespoons miso.
- Drop chicken wings into the mixture. Toss to coat well.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Spread wings out on a large baking tray.
- Place in oven and cook until done, about 45 minutes. Turn wings over every 15 minutes, for even cooking and browning. Your wings should look like the picture below. BUT ALWAYS check for doneness. (Click HERE to see How to Check if Chicken Wings are Done and Safe to Eat)
- While the wings are cooking, pour sugar in a pan with 2 tablespoons of water. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar.
- When it’s no longer grainy, turn up the temperature, keeping an eye on it, and boil until it’s an amber caramel.
- Take off the heat and carefully stir in the remaining miso, butter and lime juice.
- Pour warm caramel over finished chicken wings, coating all of them.
- Sprinkle wings with sesame seeds.
- Return to the oven for 5 minutes.
- Serve hot.
Note #1 – The vegetable oil/miso mixture is enough for up to about 2 – 2 1/2 pounds of wings. Naturally it will be fine for less also.
Note #2 – Golden Caster Sugar is a finely granulated unrefined sugar. It is popular in the UK for its color and taste. It is pale golden brown and it has a slight buttery flavor. You can find it in the US in upscale markets. Substitute Raw Cane Sugar, Demerara Sugar, Turbinado Sugar or even just White Sugar, if you cannot find Golden Caster Sugar. Do not substitute Brown Sugar.
