My husband has developed an addiction to the plain Dominos chicken wings. In the interest of saving money and sanity, I’d love to be able to recreate the taste at home, but Google-fu is failing me (the only recipes I can find are for the sauce-covered version). All I know is they’re baked, not fried.
Have you seen the price of fresh chicken wings? They’re higher than breasts or thighs around here. I made wings a couple weeks ago, and figured out it was cheaper buying them already cooked at the pub in town.
I’ve baked chicken wings plenty of times. Not sure how similar they are to Domino’s version, but you can do 4 wings in a little toaster oven as a snack. Skin side up, bake at like 375 until browned.
I slather mine with butter before baking, so I doubt they’re any healthier than deep fried, though.
IDK about Dominos, but have my own recipe for oven baked wings which is to use a convection oven at IIRC 400F, but it may be 450F (I have it programed into the oven and I’m not there to check), cook until crispy on a frying rack (a wire mesh that holds the wings above a drip plate - wings placed not touching each other) - cook time will vary with wing size, but it will ‘look’ done when it’s ready. I have not reproduced this consistency in a non-convection oven. I was considering buying a convection toaster oven for my other place so I can make them there too.
As for flavorings/seasonings, at the end I will use redhot sauce as a dip, sometimes also blue cheese.
Thanks for actually trying to answer the OP. I doubt Domino’s is going to give out their exact spice mixture, but at least that recipe is trying to emulate it (I guess, as I have never had Domino’s chicken wings). As anyone can find a recipe to bake/roast/oven-fry/whatever chicken wings, it’s the seasoning that is the difference-maker.
But that recipe calls for roasting the wings with no other seasoning than salt. The fully cooked chicken is just tossed in a sauce after it comes out of the oven. THAT’S not going to get much flavor into the meat.
And tossing the wings in flour before cooking is just adding empty calories to an already fatty meal.
Just so everybody knows,this shit is the best! All three flavors are knockouts. A rub rather than a sauce, it gives you a nice, dry, flavorful wing that won’t get all up in your beard and/or mustache.
