I hadn't done chicken wings on the MAK so I put it to the test with our favorite chicken wings recipe.

Serious Eats: Hot & Numbing Xi'an-Style Oven-Fried Chicken Wings Recipe

After drying the wings and tossing them with salt & baking powder, they spent the day on a rack in the fridge.

Off to the MAK for 45 minutes at 450 and they're ready to pull.

Ready to toss with the spice mix, cilantro, & scallions.

A dinner plate. Broccoli was steamed/sauted then tossed with Lao Gan Ma Chili Crisp Sauce.

I couldn't detect a noticeable difference between the kitchen oven method & the MAK method. Verdict: TIE.

Verdict: MAK Wins! You didn't heat up the kitchen/house for these babies!

The nice thing about the recipe is you can go in a different direction as all the seasonings are added at the end. We love these seasonings though. Fresh Sichuan peppercorns are a must. I get mine (as well as my other spices and related items) from The Spice House in Chicago. Highly recommended shop.

Good point about not heating up the kitchen. By decision: MAK by an edge. :clap:
