Description
These baked turkey wings are tender, crispy, and flavorful – perfect for any occasion, especially Thanksgiving, without the hassle of roasting a whole bird.
Ingredients
Turkey Wings:
- 3 turkey wings, about 2.5 lbs/1.2 kg in total
Spice Mixture:
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika powder
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper
Other:
- 1 cup chicken stock (250 ml)
- ½ cup ketchup (about 120 g)
Instructions
- Season turkey wings: Mix the spices in a small bowl. Pat the wings dry with paper towels. Place them in the roasting tin, rub them with oil, and season them with the spice mixture on both sides.
- Bake turkey wings: Pour the stock around the wings, cover the dish with foil, and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- Broil the wings: Remove the foil and brush the wings with the ketchup on both sides. Broil the wings until they’re sticky and glossy, flipping halfway through. Broiling time can vary. Broil for 4 minutes on each side.
- Let the wings rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Optional gravy: Use the cooking liquid to make a simple gravy. Transfer it to a saucepan, add more chicken stock if needed, and thicken with a cornstarch slurry.
Notes
- You can also cook the wings in a slow cooker. Dry, season, place them in the slow cooker, pour the stock, and cook on low for about 6 hours.
- Separate the wings if necessary by cutting through the joint.
- Adjust paprika if using smoked or hot varieties.
