Microwave BBQ Chicken Wings

Making these microwave BBQ chicken wings is simple; you don't need to use a lot of containers or turn on the grill, broiler, or oven.

Ingredients :

• 1 cup ketchup

• 3 tablespoons light brown sugar

• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

• 2 teaspoons smoked paprika

• 2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

• 1 pound chicken wing flats (wingettes)

STEPS :

     1. Make the BBQ sauce : 

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, brown mustard, garlic powder, cumin, and salt. When the mixture is thickened, microwave it on high for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring halfway through, and then re-covering. Save the BBQ sauce. The paper towel can be used again to fry the wings.

     2. Cook the wings : 

Put the chicken wings in a medium bowl that can go in the microwave. The same paper towel should be used to cover the bowl as well. Microwave on high for about 6 minutes, or until the wings are almost fully cooked.

Waste the paper towels. In a colander positioned in the sink, drain the wings. After that, use paper towels to massage the wings dry before putting them back in the basin.

     3. Coat the wings and finish cooking : 

To uniformly coat the wings, add roughly 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce. Uncovered on high power for 4 minutes, tossing halfway through, until sauce glazes the wings.

The recipe was created and evaluated using a 1,250 watt microwave. Depending on the strength of your microwave, you might need to cook the wings for longer, in 1-minute intervals. An instant read thermometer is the most accurate tool for determining if chicken is fully cooked; you should aim for a reading of at least 165°F.

Serve alongside 1/4 cup of extra BBQ sauce for dipping.
