Grilled Chicken Wings Recipe With Honey Chili Garlic Sauce

HONEY CHILI CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Coat chicken wings in flour that has been seasoned with salt. Heat enough vegetable oil in a large skillet on stovetop to fry wings until crisp. Remove wings from skillet, drain on paper towels and set aside. (Wings can also be baked in the oven without the flour.)
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in frying pan and add ginger, cook for 1 minute. Add in honey and stir for an additional minute. In a separate bowl, combine corn flour, water, hot sauce, lemon juice, and soy sauce, then add mixture to pan. Stir until sauce boils and thickens. Add in chicken wings and combine with sauce until thoroughly heated. Add shallots and cook for 1 more minute.
• Serve Buffalo Wings with blue cheese dressing, carrots and/or celery sticks.

STICKY HONEY-CHILI GARLIC GRILLED CHICKEN WITH CUCUMBER SALAD

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the chili garlic sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sugar, soy sauce and garlic. Bring to a low simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook about 10 minutes. Spoon 1/4 cup of the mixture into a small bowl, whisk in the cornstarch until combined and then whisk back into the saucepan. Let simmer an additional 10 minutes to thicken. Let cool completely.
• Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken and place in a 9-by-13-inch pan. Pour half of the chili garlic mixture over the chicken and toss to coat; reserve the remaining sauce. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate for 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Bake the chicken, covered in foil, for 35 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the grill to medium high.
• Remove the chicken from the oven and grill, basting with the reserved sauce, until the skin is crispy, a few minutes per side. (Alternatively, the chicken can be finished under the broiler. Remove the foil from the pan and put under the broiler for a few minutes until the skin is crispy.)
• Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, spoon the remaining reserved sauce over the top and garnish with cilantro. Serve with the Cucumber Salad.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the vinegar and honey until emulsified. Add the cucumbers and cilantro and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until serving time.

• Marinate wings in refrigerate 1 hour to overnight.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

HONEY GARLIC CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Brine the wings in a covered container by first dissolving kosher salt in cold water. Make sure there is enough water to cover the wings. Refrigerate the wings and salt solution for 4-6 hours maximum.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Combine the honey, ketchup, dark soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, black pepper and cayenne in a small saucepan. Simmer on low for 15 minutes to thicken. Set aside.
• After the wings are done brining, heat the oil in a deep fryer to 320°F.
• Drain the wings and dry them with paper towel. When the oil reaches the desired temperature, fry the wings a batch at a time (about 10-12 wings together will be best). Depending on the size of your wings, cooking time will vary from 10-15 minutes (check for doneness, even if wings seem pale they may be cooked through).
• Remove wings from the fryer and place in a large bowl. Add 2 tbsp of the sauce and toss the wings to coat evenly. Add more sauce if needed, but start with a little at a time. Continue frying up remaining wings and repeat this step.
• Serve with napkins, as these get your fingers sticky!
