Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ cup minced garlic
½ cup hot pepper sauce (such as Frank's RedHot®)
½ cup white sugar
vegetable oil for frying
10 chicken wings
1 ½ tablespoons slivered green onions

Steps:

  • Chill a metal bowl in the freezer.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir garlic until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add hot sauce and sugar to garlic; cook and stir until mixture is reduced and bubbling, about 5 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cook wings in the hot oil until no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove wings from hot oil using a slotted spoon and transfer to the chilled bowl. Add garlic-hot sauce to wings and toss to coat. Transfer coated wings to a serving platter and garnish with green onion.

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup canola oil
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger

SWEET, STICKY AND SPICY CHICKEN WINGS

Provided by Rick Rogers

Categories     Food Processor     Chicken     Fruit     Garlic     Picnic     Backyard BBQ     Summer     Tailgating

Yield Makes 34 wingettes, about 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 1/2 pounds (about 17 pieces) chicken wings
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
One 9-ounce jar mango chutney, such as Major Grey
2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses or balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Grilling method: Indirect High
  • 1. Chop the wings between the joints into 3 pieces. Discard the wing tips or save for another use. In a small bowl, mix the salt, cinnamon, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne together. Season the chicken wings with the spice mixture. Cover and refrigerate while building the fire.
  • 2. Build a charcoal fire in an outdoor grill for indirect high grilling and let burn until the coals are almost completely covered with white ash.
  • 3. Meanwhile, pulse the chutney and pomegranate molasses in a food processor until the chunky bits of mango are minced. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • 4. Lightly oil the grill grate. Place the wings on the cooler area of the grill and cover. Grill for 15 minutes. Turn the wings and cook until they are browned and show no sign of pink when pierced at the thickest part near a bone, about 20 minutes longer. During the last few minutes, brush the tops of the wings with half the chutney mixture.
  • 5. Turn the wings, moving them to the hotter area, directly over the coals. Brush with the remaining chutney mixture. Cook, turning occasionally, until the wings are glazed, about 2 minutes. (Although most of the fat will have cooked away by this point, the wings are likely to flare up, so adjust the final glazing time as needed.) Transfer to a platter and serve hot.

  • Use a combination of baking powder and cornstarch to coat the wings. This will help create a crispy crust.
  • Be sure to cook the wings at a high temperature. This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the wings in the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Bake the wings until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 20 minutes.
