Salt Boiled Chicken Wings

 

I wanted wings in case I got the munchies, so I got some frozen wing pieces delivered. Instead of cooking a few pieces at a time, I decided to cook all of them in salted water. That way I can just toss them in sauce when I feel like it.

1. In a large pot, put in the wing pieces and enough cold water to cover. Heat until just boiling.
2. Remove the wing pieces. Note the liquid level.
3. Rinse the wing pieces with cold water. Drain and set aside. Clean the pot.
4. In the same pot, add cold water to previous liquid level. Add 1/2 cup salt. Bring to a boil.
5. Add the wing pieces, cover, and turn off the heat. Wait 15 minutes.
6. Remove the wing pieces and bring the liquid to a boil.
7. Add the wing pieces, cover, and turn off the heat. Wait 15 minutes.
8. Remove wing pieces. Dunk them in an ice bath; remove and pat dry.
9. Transfer wing pieces to zip top bag. Pour olive oil into the bag. Ensure all pieces are coated. Store in the fridge.
10. Toss wing pieces in sauce before serving.
