EMERIL LAGASSE'S GRILLED VIETNAMESE-STYLE CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Rinse the wings under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside in a large bowl while you prepare the marinade. Combine the garlic, shallots, ginger, scallions, lemongrass, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice and peanut oil in a food processor and process until smooth.
• Pour the marinade over the wings and place in a large resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat a grill to medium. Remove the wings from the marinade; reserve the marinade to brush the wings while they cook. Place the wings on the grill, season with 1 teaspoon salt and cook, turning every few minutes and basting with the marinade for the first 18 or so minutes. Continue to grill the wings until cooked through, 8 to 10 more minutes.
• Place the wings on a serving platter and garnish with the peanuts and cilantro.

GRILLED TURMERIC AND LEMONGRASS CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Combine coconut milk, shallots, garlic, lemongrass, jalapeños, ginger, lime juice, tamarind juice, fish sauce, kosher salt, turmeric, and 1 cup water in a blender. Purée mixture until a smooth marinade forms.
• Place chicken wings in a large baking dish. Pour marinade over; turn wings to coat evenly. Cover chicken and chill overnight.
• Remove chicken from marinade, shaking any excess marinade back into dish. Transfer chicken to a large platter. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• Transfer marinade to a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until marinade thickens, 10-15 minutes. Pour half of marinade into a small bowl; set aside for basting chicken while it grills. Keep remaining marinade in saucepan; cover and keep warm until ready to serve the chicken.
• Build a medium fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Oil grill grates to prevent sticking. Grill chicken wings, turning every 5 minutes and basting occasionally with marinade in small bowl, until fat is rendered and skin is nicely charred in spots, 30-35 minutes. (The key here is to turn the wings often so the skin doesn't burn.)
• Continue cooking chicken without basting (so it will get crisp) until wings are cooked through, about 10 minutes longer.
• Transfer chicken to a large platter and let it rest for 5 minutes. Squeeze lime wedges over wings. Transfer marinade in saucepan to a small bowl. Serve warm marinade alongside chicken as a dipping sauce.

GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS WITH TWO THAI SAUCES

Steps:

• Cut off wing tips, reserving for another use, and halve wings at joint. In a bowl whisk together oil, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Add wings and stir to coat. Marinate wings, covered and chilled, at least 1 hour and up to 8.
• Make peanut sauce:
• Mince shallots and garlic. In a food processor finely grind peanuts until they begin to get oily. In a small heavy saucepan heat oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking and cook shallots, garlic, and curry paste, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in ground peanuts and coconut milk and simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently, until mixture is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Stir in lime juice, brown sugar, and salt to taste. (If sauce is too thick, stir in additional coconut milk.) Peanut sauce may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring sauce to room temperature before serving.
• Make gai yang sauce:
• Wearing protective gloves, mince chiles. Mince garlic and in a small saucepan simmer with chiles and remaining ingredients, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Cool sauce to room temperature. Gai yang sauce may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring sauce to room temperature before serving.
• Prepare grill.
• Drain wings in a colander and pat dry. Grill wings on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until cooked through and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes on each side.
• Serve wings with sauces and cucumber salad.

THAI GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Dipping sauce:
• Grind chiles in spice mill to a fine powder. Mix chile powder, fish sauce, lime juice, sesame seeds, and sugar in a medium bowl to dissolve sugar. Adjust with more sugar or lime juice if needed.
• Wings and assembly:
• Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Combine oyster and soy sauces, sugar, oil, and pepper in a large bowl. Add wings; toss to coat. Let sit 20-30 minutes (if allowed to marinate longer, they'll be too salty). Thread 2 flat pieces onto each skewer on a diagonal, spacing about 1/2" apart. Grill along with drumettes, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and cooked through, 6-8 minutes. Serve with dipping sauce.

SPICY TAMARIND-GLAZED GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Whisk tamarind purée, fish sauce, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, cumin, and 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt in a medium bowl until combined and a loose paste forms. Set tamarind glaze aside.
• Pat wings dry with paper towels, then season all over with remaining 2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 1 tsp. Morton kosher salt. Place in a large bowl; add half of tamarind glaze and toss to coat. Chill 15 minutes. Set remaining glaze aside.
• Meanwhile, place onion in a bowl of ice water and set aside.
• Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off). Arrange wings on grate over indirect heat, making sure not to overcrowd. Brush top of each wing with some reserved glaze. Cover and grill 15 minutes. Uncover, turn wings over, and brush other side with glaze. Re-cover and grill until wings are golden brown and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a wing registers 165°F, about 15 minutes.
• Brush wings with more glaze, then move over direct heat and grill until charred in spots, 1-2 minutes per side.
• Transfer wings to a platter. Drain onion and place on paper towels; pat dry. Scatter onion over wings and top with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

GRILLED WINGS WITH A MEXICAN-THAI FUSION HOT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat grill to high with cover closed till you hit about 400 degrees. Toss wings in a few tablespoons of oil and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place on the grill in single layers and grill until golden brown on both sides about 10 to 12 minutes per side.
• (For those that are not too familiar with grilling, preheating your grill to 400 degrees is a great way to clean your grill before cooking a new item. Simply wait till your covered grill hits 400 degrees and then using a grill cleaning brush, scrub off the chard left overs. Heating your grill up to 400 degrees also creates in my opinion the best heat to start off your grilling as you'll for the most part not want to cover your grill again through out the cooking process. It's also equally as important to watch your wings to make sure your wings aren't being overly chard on the outside, this just comes with practice!).
• Puree the Chipotle peppers in a processor with the adobe sauce that they usually come with. You can buy these Chipotle peppers with adobe sauce in almost any large market. For this recipe you'll only need to buy the smallest can, since this recipe only calls for about 2 to 3 tablespoons worth.
• On a medium heat setting on your stove, combine together the vinegar, orange juice, Dijon mustard, chipotle puree, honey, oil, and peanut butter in a medium sauce pan. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. After cooking the mixture on medium for 5 mins, reduce (allow sauce to thicken) this mixture on a low to medium heat setting for about 10 mins, stirring occasionally. (meaning you'll need to have the sauce pan uncovered during the whole processes to allow the moisture to escape).
• Pour the hot sauce mixture into a large wok or a large pot and bring to a boil(About medium to high stove setting should do the trick). Add the wings in batches (about ten wings depending on how large your wok or pot is) and coat for about 2 minutes making sure that the wings are well coated. Once done, plate them and enjoy!
