How long to cook chicken wings in nuwave oven

FlavorWave, NuWave and other infrared ovens are a great tool to lower the fat and calories in dishes that are generally fried. The problem is that finding good recipes for these ovens has been a chore for me. I got my FlavorWave about three months ago, and love the concept of it, but the recipe "book" that came along with it is basically unusable in my opinion. As an example, there isn't even a recipe to cook a whole chicken in the oven. There is a recipe to cook two whole chickens, but not one. So I went online to find more information on cooking techniques for my oven and I did find a cooking chart. However, I have found the times and temperatures on the chart aren't that reliable. The chart says to cook everything at 400 degrees. If that's the case, I don't know why there is an adjustment for temperature on the oven at all. The chart does not instruct you to turn food over during cooking. If you want the food to brown evenly on both sides, it has to be turned. And...I still want actual recipes.

What to do about my dilemma? Experiment. With my Wave oven, I am finding the experimenting is actually fun.

As I ventured into experimentation mode, I tried to think of a food that I really like, that is generally fried, and that I could lower the fat and calories in by using my new oven. One of my first thoughts? Chicken wings. I prefer them with spicy barbeque sauce, but this recipe can be used if you like them with traditional wing sauces (Tabasco, garlic, etc.) as well. Just substitute the sauce you like for the bbq sauce in the recipe.

So, if you have one of these ovens, are somewhat frustrated by the lack of information available regarding the cooking process, and like chicken wings, try out this recipe and let me know what you think.

Juicy Chicken in NuWave Oven – pin it for Later!

How to Cook Juicy Chicken in a NuWave Oven

The summer heat has arrived in full force here in West Virginia. When it gets this hot outside, I really hate to turn the oven on to cook anything at all. That is when I turn to my handy-dandy countertop NuWave oven. I was first introduced to NuWave cooking from my dad a few years ago. He loves to try the newest gadgets and small kitchen appliances when they hit the market.

He raved and raved about the NuWave when he got his, telling me everything he cooked in it, and just how perfect it came out. So, of course, I had to see for myself. 2 years and many recipes later, it is now my go-to kitchen appliance, especially in the summertime when it is too hot to turn on the oven. This  Mouthwatering Barbecue Chicken is at the very top of our list of favorites.

Add Your Favorite Flavors

After cooking for 12 minutes on each side, your chicken should be cooked through, juicy and ready to serve. However, if you wish to add barbecue sauce like I did, go ahead and brush that on after the original cook time.

Brush on your favorite BBQ sauce and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Flip the chicken and coat the other side in sauce and cook for 3 minutes more. This is not an absolute necessity, but I like the way the NuWave bakes the sauce onto the chicken and gives it a crispy coating.

You can see for yourself just how much fat and grease has come off the chicken when we were done cooking it. Just think, cooking this in the oven in a regular baking pan in the oven, the chicken would be sitting in this grease. So much healthier for you cooking it this way!
