Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

2/3 cup orange juice
2/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup grated ginger
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons chopped jalapenos
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped garlic
3 sticks cinnamon
3 whole star anise
10 pounds chicken wings
3 tablespoons butter
8 teaspoons minced garlic
1 cup fish sauce
1 cup orange juice
1 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
1 1/2 ounces banana liqueur
2 bananas, sliced
1 orange, juiced
1/2 orange, zested
18 ounces pineapple juice
1/4 cup sugar
4 cups sour cream
8 cups canola oil
4 yellow plantains

Steps:

  • For the marinade: Combine the orange juice, soy sauce, ginger, sugar, jalapenos, garlic, cinnamon and star anise. Pour the marinade over the wings and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove the wings from marinade and place on a baking sheet. Roast for 30 minutes.
  • For the banana-garlic sauce: In a large pot set over low heat, melt the butter and toast the garlic until dark golden brown, 15 minutes. Add the fish sauce, orange juice, maple syrup, chili sauce, banana liqueur, bananas, orange juice and zest. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a simmer for 20 minutes. Puree the sauce in a blender, and then set aside.
  • For the dipping sauce: Place the pineapple juice and sugar in a small saucepot set over medium heat and cook to reduce by one-third (6 ounces), about 1 hour. It should be slightly caramelized. Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • Add the reduced juice mixture to the sour cream and mix.
  • For the plantains: Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan set over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. Carefully peel the plantains, taking care to avoid getting the peels under your fingernails. Then cut the plantains into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Fry the plantain slices for 3 minutes.
  • Preheat the grill to high heat.
  • Grill the wings until golden brown. Meanwhile, reheat the banana-garlic sauce in a stockpot. Add the grilled wings and fried plantains to the sauce and toss until everything is glazed and very hot. Serve the wings and plantains on a platter with the dipping sauce in a bowl on the side.

These chicken wings were amazing! The banana and garlic flavors were perfectly balanced, and the tropical creme dipping sauce was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making these again and again.

These chicken wings were a bit dry, but the tropical creme dipping sauce helped to make them more moist. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the chicken wings for less time.

These chicken wings were a bit too spicy for my taste, but the tropical creme dipping sauce helped to cool them down. I would make them again, but I would use less chili powder.
