As Customer Success Manager at Able, Carrie Metzler is a cool-headed problem solver. But she knows how to turn up the heat in the backyard with these tasty chicken wings that disappear faster than surface defects on a critical metal part undergoing electropolishing…
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15-20 mins
Time Before You Have to Make Another Batch: Very little
Servings: 4
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. smoked paprika
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 tsp. cayenne
2 lb. chicken wings
Vegetable oil, for grill
1/2 c. mayonnaise
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
2 tsp. horseradish
2 tsp. freshly chopped chives
1 tsp. hot sauce
Step 1: Make wings: In a medium bowl, whisk together lemon zest, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, and cayenne. Pat chicken wings dry and place in a large bowl. Add spice mixture and toss to coat.
Step 2: Heat grill or grill pan to medium heat. Oil grill grates with vegetable oil. Add wings and cook, stirring occasionally, until skin is crisp and meat is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 3: Meanwhile, make sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together mayo, lemon juice, mustard, horseradish, chives, and hot sauce.
Step 4: Serve wings hot with dipping sauce.
At Able Electropolishing, our highly customized electropolishing baths have been developed over decades of research and proprietary expertise and we don’t share the exact recipe. We can only tell you that for certain applications, the results are delicious: Our work with one of the world’s best-known grill manufacturers comes to mind…
We can, however, share this. Vice President for Business Development Pat Hayes has agreed to provide the secret recipe for his barbecue sauce, perfected over years of all-weather backyard grilling in the Chicago suburbs. The secret to winter barbecuing in Chicago? Not minding.
“I’ve done ribs for the Super Bowl when it was -10 degrees,” he says. The other secret to Chicago winter barbecuing? Stay inside.
“Angle the grill so you can read the temperature from the window,” Hayes says.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Snow blowing the deck time: Varies
Servings: 8
1 and ½ cups ketchup
3 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
¾ cup brown sugar
1 tsp. paprika
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
2 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. seasoning salt
2 tsp. mustard
Water, as needed. (Optional)
Whisk together all of the ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Allow sauce to bubble and then reduce the heat and let sauce simmer for 10 minutes to thicken. Apply liberally to ribs, chicken, pork or anything that can be eaten.
From implantable devices to surgical instruments, electropolishing is a single-process treatment that results in biocompatible, safe and ultra clean parts.
We offer aerospace vendors and original equipment manufacturers our signature metal finishing services to increase fatigue-resistance for their metal parts, rendering them capable of withstanding the stress and corrosion that comes with long-term use.
Our strict adherence to industry standards ensures that pharmaceutical components are electropolished in accordance with ASTM B912 and ASME BPE specifications. These products are clean and smooth, corrosion resistant and contaminant free.
Corrosion resistance and microfinish improvement are essential for critical automotive parts, making electropolishing an increasingly beneficial option for automakers.
Our metal finishing services help increase corrosion resistance for these parts, and by removing the outermost layer of metal withelectropolishing the durability and longevity of these appliance components is increased.
Electropolishing materials for this industry eliminates the buildup of bacterial biofilms, as well as keeping the equipment free of contaminants like Salmonella. Electropolishing delivers the level of sanitation required by a number of regulatory agencies.
From robotics to mobile equipment, the uses of electropolishing in the hydraulics and pneumatics industry are many. By helping prevent premature part failure, electropolishing reduces downtime and increases the life cycle of these components.
Improving conductivity and performance is just one benefit electropolishing offers for electronics parts. The surface finish is improved by as much as 50%, removing imperfections from the material without material removal.
Carbon steel is widely favored in manufacturing for its affordability, hardness and ability to undergo heat-treatment to increase durability. Used in gears, springs, and other critical metal parts, it’s known for versatility and reliability.
Precision and reliability are non-negotiable standards in the aerospace industry, where every component must meet strict requirements for performance, durability, and safety.
With the addition of a fourth-generation tabletop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Able’s state-of-the-art suite of analytic tools continues to grow to meet the requirements of high quality finishing for increasingly sophisticated metal parts.
Stainless steel alloys are prized by manufacturers across industries for their durability and corrosion resistance. Unfortunately, when free iron isn’t removed from the surface of stainless steel parts after machining or stamping, the inherent benefits of stainless alloys diminish: contaminated…
