Steps
Jalapeño Popper-Stuffed Chicken Wings
- Remove the bones from the paddle section of the wing using a paring knife.
- Insert your knife between the bone and the meat and work your way around until the bones are free and can be removed, leaving a cavity for stuffing.
- Place the cleaned wings in a medium glass bowl with 1 tablespoon of garlic powder and soy sauce.
- Let marinate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar cheese, chives and bacon.
- Wearing gloves, remove the core and stem from the jalapeños and make a slit down on side.
- Fill the jalapeños with the cream cheese mixture.
- Stuff the filled jalapeños into the wings, open side first, and seal using toothpicks.
- Place on a foiled baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Let cool.
- In 3 small bowls, create your breading station.
- In one bowl, mix the flour with the remaining garlic powder and salt.
- In another, the eggs and in the last, the breadcrumbs and cayenne.
- Dredge the wings first in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs and place on a wire rack.
- Deep-fry in oil heated to 350 degrees until golden brown. Season with more salt. Serve with spicy mayo.
