CHINESE STYLE BARBECUED WINGS
300 Big & Bold Barbecue & Grilling Recipes
by Karen Adler & Judith Fertig
Chicken wings are perfect for a casual supper. Add a salad or slaw dressed with wasabi vinaigrette, grilled or sauteed broccoli florets with butter and toasted sesame seeds, a French baguette and a bottle or two of Kirin beer. Have plenty of napkins or damp towelettes for everyone's sticky fingers.
Serves 6 as a Main Course, 12 as an Appetizer
Marinade
• 3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 1-inch piece gingerroot, sliced
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1/3 cup toasted sesame oil
• 3 lbs chicken wings, cut at joints, tips discarded
• 1 recipe Asian Barbecue Sauce (below)
Directions
1. Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, combine garlic, ginger, soy sauce and sesame oil.
2. Rinse wings under cold running water and pat dry. Place in a large scalable plastic bag and pour in marinade. Seal, toss to coat and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 8 hours, tossing occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, prepare a medium-hot fire in your grill.
4. Remove wings from marinade, discarding marinade. Grill for about 20 minutes, turning often and basting with some of the barbecue sauce during the last 5 minutes, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced. Serve on a platter, with a bowl of the remaining sauce on the side.
Variation
Grill whole chicken wings if you prefer, adding a couple of minutes to the cooking time. The joints should move easily when the wings are done.
