Chicken wing
Used in 4 recipes on RecipeWiki.
Chicken wings are small, bone-in pieces with a high proportion of skin and connective tissue, which is exactly why they reward hot cooking. The skin turns crisp while the meat stays juicy if the wings are not crowded. They are split into flats and drumettes for Buffalo Wings, and can be roasted, grilled or fried before being coated. Pat them dry first, season close to cooking time, and use a rack when roasting so hot air can reach every side.

Air Fryer Chicken Wings
Baking powder, half an hour uncovered in the fridge, then twelve minutes low and ten minutes hot. The skin crisps because it is dry and alkaline, not because of oil.

Buffalo Wings
Baking powder and a night uncovered in the fridge give oven wings a fried skin. The sauce is butter whisked into cayenne pepper sauce off the heat, and it splits if you boil it.
Main courses
Chicken Stock
Stock from a roast carcass, held at a bare simmer for hours so it stays clear, and what the onion and tomato soups both ask for.
Sauces
Korean Fried Chicken
Fried twice, with a rest between. The first fry cooks it and the second drives off the surface moisture, which is why the coating stays crisp under sauce.
