I’ll create a recipe for Betty White’s Chicken Wings. While Betty White was known to enjoy cooking, I don’t have a verified authentic recipe specifically for her chicken wings. Here’s a recipe inspired by her style of simple, classic American cooking:
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split at joints, tips removed
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Hot sauce to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, then toss them in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
- Arrange the wings on the wire rack, making sure they don’t touch.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes until crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through.
- While the wings are baking, make the sauce by combining melted butter, honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and hot sauce (if using) in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-low until just simmering, then remove from heat.
- When the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the sauce over them. Toss until evenly coated.
- Serve immediately with celery sticks and your favorite dipping sauce.
This recipe creates wings that are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with a sweet and savory glaze – simple, delicious comfort food that would make Betty proud!
