Teriyaki Chicken-Wing and Vegetable Skewers image

Food clings well to both single- or double-pronged bamboo or wooden skewers, so you can use either for this recipe. They must both be soaked in cool water for half an hour before grilling to avoid catching fire.

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup mirin
1/4 cup sake
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger (from a 1-inch piece)
2 teaspoons grated garlic (from 2 cloves)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
8 whole chicken wings (about 1 3/4 pounds)
1 Japanese eggplant, cut into 3/4-inch rounds
1 bunch scallions (about 8), white and light-green parts only, cut into 3-inch pieces
8 shiitake mushrooms, stems removed
16 shishito peppers
2 bunches enoki mushrooms (3 1/2 ounces each), woody bottoms removed, cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch pieces
3 slices bacon, halved crosswise, then lengthwise
12 ounces thick asparagus, trimmed and cut into 3-inch pieces
Safflower oil, for brushing
Toasted sesame seeds, lemon wedges, and flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, for serving

Steps:

Soak 28 seven-inch bamboo skewers in water 30 minutes; drain. Meanwhile, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 2/3 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon pepper; let cool.
Thread each chicken wing onto a skewer. Thread 2 pieces each eggplant and scallion onto skewers. Thread 2 pieces each shiitake and scallion onto skewers. Thread shishitos 4 per skewer. Divide enokis into 12 equal bundles; wrap each in a piece of bacon, then thread 3 per skewer. Thread asparagus 5 per skewer. Lightly brush eggplant, shiitake, and asparagus skewers with oil.
Preheat grill for direct-heat cooking (medium-high on a gas grill). Lightly brush grates with oil. Grill chicken skewers 5 minutes. Flip chicken and add eggplant and shiitake skewers; grill 5 minutes more. Flip chicken, eggplant, and shiitake skewers, and add shishito, bacon-wrapped enoki, and asparagus skewers; continue to grill until chicken is just cooked through, eggplant and shiitakes are tender, bacon is crisp and browned, and shishitos and asparagus are crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes more. In the last minute of cooking, brush chicken, eggplant, and shiitake skewers with soy mixture a few times while flipping repeatedly.
Remove skewers from grill. Brush chicken, eggplant, and shiitake skewers with more soy mixture, then sprinkle with sesame seeds. Sprinkle shishito, enoki, and asparagus skewers with flaky salt. Serve, with lemon wedges on the side.

Tips:

Choose the right chicken wings: Select fresh, plump chicken wings with evenly distributed fat. Avoid wings with bruises or discoloration.
Marinate the chicken wings: Marinating the chicken wings in a flavorful mixture of spices, herbs, and liquids not only enhances the taste but also tenderizes the meat. Experiment with different marinade recipes to find your favorite combination.
Skewer the chicken wings properly: To prevent the chicken wings from falling off the skewers during grilling, insert the skewers through the thickest part of the wing, ensuring that the meat is evenly distributed along the skewer.
Grill the chicken wings over medium heat: Grilling the chicken wings over medium heat allows them to cook evenly without burning. Use a grill with a well-oiled grate to prevent the wings from sticking.
Flip the chicken wings regularly: To ensure even cooking, flip the chicken wings every few minutes. This helps prevent them from burning on one side while remaining undercooked on the other.
Cook the chicken wings to the right temperature: The internal temperature of the chicken wings should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are cooked thoroughly and safe to consume. Use a meat thermometer to accurately measure the internal temperature.
Serve the chicken wings with your favorite dipping sauce: Chicken wing skewers are best enjoyed with a variety of dipping sauces. Some popular options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, barbecue sauce, and honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Chicken wing skewers are a versatile and delicious appetizer or main course that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily create mouthwatering chicken wing skewers that will be the hit of your next party or gathering. Experiment with different marinade recipes, grilling techniques, and dipping sauces to find the perfect combination that suits your taste preferences.
