Today's Recipe

Dear ,

 

Summer is the season of backyard barbecues, smoky grills, and crowd-pleasing comfort food.

 

And few things say summer more than a big plate of saucy chicken wings.

 

But the way most wings are prepared—coated in flour, fried in seed oils, and tossed in processed sauces—does more than weigh you down. 

 

It also contributes to something we discussed yesterday—glycation, a process that produces compounds known as AGEs. These affect the collagen in your body, with visible and long-term impacts on your joints, skin, and connective tissue.

 

Fortunately, there’s a better way to enjoy this summer favorite.

Tender-Crisp Wings with Healing Benefits

When cooked properly, chicken wings can become a nutrient-dense food that supports joint flexibility, skin hydration, and gut health.

 

The key is cooking with moist heat. 

 

Using a pressure cooker like the Instant Pot helps protect delicate proteins and preserves compounds like collagen, glucosamine, and chondroitin sulfate—nutrients that are often lost with high-heat, dry cooking methods like frying or broiling.

 

This technique not only makes the wings more digestible, it also reduces the formation of AGEs.

 

Then, a brief roast in the oven creates the crisp, golden skin everyone loves—without the need for flour, deep frying, or inflammatory oils.

 

Even better, the gentle pressure cooking renders some of the fat, allowing the skin to crisp naturally in the oven.

 

The result?

Wings that are moist and tender inside, satisfyingly crisp outside, and loaded with nutrients that help your body move better, feel better, and age more gracefully.

P.S. These wings are a delicious way to avoid joint-damaging AGEs. But there’s another compound—a corrosive, endogenous acid—that can accumulate in the joints, break down cartilage, and make movement feel bone-on-bone.
