Transfer wings to a 5-qt. slow cooker; add sugar mixture. Cover and cook on low until chicken juices run clear, 3 to 3-1/2 hours., Transfer wings to a serving dish; keep warm. Skim fat from cooking juices; transfer to a small saucepan. Bring liquid to a boil. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually stir into pan.

SWEET AND SOUR GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine brown sugar, oil, vinegar, mustard, lime juice, lemon juice, garlic, seasoned salt, and pepper in a medium bowl and mix well.
• Place chicken in a glass or ceramic bowl and cover with sauce. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator, 8 hours or overnight.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Cook chicken on the preheated grill until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

GRILLED SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the chicken, prepare the brine by whisking together the water, salt, brown sugar and soy sauce in a large bowl until the sugar and salt are mostly dissolved.
• Cut each chicken breast into 2-inch strips (so about two strips per chicken breasts, depending on the size of the chicken breasts) and submerge all the chicken pieces fully in the brine mixture. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least two hours (or up to four hours). Any longer than four hours and the chicken may be too salty.
• For the sauce, whisk together all the sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-low heat. Let the sauce simmer for about 15 minutes to reduce and thicken slightly (can simmer longer for a thicker sauce), stirring occasionally. There may be a strong vinegar smell as the sauce simmers and the vinegar evaporates - that's completely normal (and the sauce will not taste overly vinegary).
• Preheat grill to medium heat (on my pellet grill, I preheat to 350 degrees for this recipe). Remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry with paper towels. Discard the brine.
• Grill the chicken, turning once, until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees F (exact cooking time will depend on what type of grill you have; it takes about 15 minutes total on my pellet grill for thin cut chicken at this temperature). During the last two minutes of grilling brush the chicken liberally with the prepared sweet and sour sauce.
• Remove the chicken from the grill to a serving platter and drizzle with remaining sauce OR serve the sweet and sour sauce on the side.

FOIL-PACK GRILLED SWEET-AND-SPICY CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Whisk together the chili powder, sugar, chipotle powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl to make a dry spice rub. Place the wings in a large bowl, toss with the oil, and sprinkle with the dry spice rub. Toss the wings to evenly coat, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours.
• Prepare a grill for high heat.
• Tear off four 18-by-18-inch sheets of heavy duty non-stick aluminum foil. Remove the wings from the bowl, making sure to leave any excess liquid behind. Divide the wings among the foil pieces, centering them on each piece in a single layer. Sprinkle the wings with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Bring two opposite ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal, then fold in the other sides to create leak-proof packets. Grill over high heat, turning once, until the wings are cooked through, about 25 minutes. Carefully open the packets (hot steam will escape). Scatter the cilantro over the tops and serve with the lime wedges.

GRILLED SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Wash chicken wings and pat dry. Sprinkle lightly with garlic powder and cayenne pepper.
• Cook on the preheated grill, turning every few minutes, until crispy on the outside and no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• While the wings are grilling, whisk sugar, vinegar, chicken broth, ketchup, and soy sauce together in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil. Cook until sauce is rendered to 1/2 of the original volume.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Place wings in a large baking dish and drizzle sauce over top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until flavors have intermingled, 10 to 15 minutes.

GLAZED SWEET AND SOUR CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Prepare the wings by cutting through the joint to make two pieces. Snip off the tips. Put the wings in a shallow glass or ceramic dish.
• Combine hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ketchup, vinegar, lime juice, sugar, garlic, ginger, and chile paste in a small bowl, and whisk well. Brush liberally on the chicken wings, turning them to coat both sides. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill. Lightly spray the grill rack with vegetable-oil cooking spray. The coals should be moderately hot.
• Grill the wings, turning with tongs 3 to 4 times and brushing with any remaining glaze during the first 10 minutes of grilling or until cooked through, 15 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately.

GRILLED HOT, SWEET AND STICKY CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl whisk together the first 9 ingredients (ketchup through chili powder).
• Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
• Place in a large, resealable plastic bag and pour in the marinade.
• Press the air out of the bag and seal tightly.
• Turn the bag to distribute the marinade.
• Place in a bowl and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours, turning occasionally.
• Remove the wings from the bag and discard the marinade.
• Lightly brush or spray the wings with olive oil.
• Sear over direct, medium heat on the grill until well marked, 4-6 minutes, turning once halfway through searing time.
• Continue grilling over INDIRECT medium heat until the meat is no longer pink near the bone, 10-12 minutes.
• Serve hot with napkins.

SWEET-AND-SOUR CHICKEN WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, honey, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens and is reduced by half, 30 minutes. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl; discard solids. You should have 2/3 cup sauce.
• Meanwhile, arrange chicken wings in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden, crisp, and cooked through, 35 minutes. Drain fat from sheet and, with tongs, transfer wings to bowl with sauce. Toss until wings are coated and most of sauce is absorbed, about 3 minutes. To serve, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chives, if desired.

SPICY SWEET-AND-SOUR GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Stir together water and tomato paste in a 2 1/2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan until smooth, then stir in remaining sauce ingredients. Bring mixture to a boil, stirring, then reduce heat and briskly simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced to 2 1/4 cups, 50 to 60 minutes. Stir frequently toward end of cooking to prevent sticking. Reserve 1 cup sauce for serving.
• Prepare grill for indirect-heat grilling over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas grills; see Grilling Procedure ).
• Pat chicken dry (do not season with salt and pepper). Lightly oil grill rack and place chicken, skin side down, on area with no coals underneath (over turned-off burner if using gas). Grill, covered, turning once, until chicken registers 165°F, 22 to 25 minutes. (Chicken may appear pale; no cause for worry.)
• Brush generously all over with some of sauce, then move chicken directly over coals (turned-on burners if using gas). Grill chicken, covered, turning and moving to area with no coals or heat underneath if flare-ups occur, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes more. (Add more charcoal during grilling if necessary to maintain heat.)
• Serve chicken with reserved sauce.
