Making Hoisin Honey-Garlic Wings
- 2 1/2-3 pounds chicken wings, drummettes and flats
- Salt
- White pepper
- Ketchup
- Hoisin sauce (see below for gluten-free option)
- Sriracha sauce
- Honey
- Lime (fresh limes)
- Soy sauce
- Unsalted butter
- Garlic (sub with garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
- Fresh ginger (sub with 1/4 teaspoons ginger powder)
Grilling chicken wings:
- Preheat grill for indirect medium heat.
- Blot wings dry with a paper towel.
- Lightly season with salt and white pepper.
- Place wings onto grill grates and cook for 40 minutes. Turn after the first 8 minutes and turn a few times again during the cooking process.
Glazing the chicken wings:
- While wings are cooking, prepare the wing glaze. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until it becomes fragrant. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a light simmer. Stir, reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes.
- Increase heat to high (or move wings to a hotter part of the grill) toward the last 7-10 minutes of cook time. Let wings crisp up. Keep a close eye.
- Once they have developed a bit of a crust and have reached an internal temperature of at least 175 degrees F., remove from heat and place into a disposable aluminum pan.
- Pour heated sauce over the chicken wings. Using tongs, gently toss to coat. Place wings back on the grill for 5 minutes. Watch for burning and adjust accordingly.
- Remove the hoisin honey-garlic wings from the grill and serve.
- Save leftover chicken wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days after cooking. Reheat in the oven for a better texture.
Need a gluten-free alternative? Simply replace the hoisin sauce and soy sauce with gluten-free alternatives. Bear in mind that gluten-free hoisin is harder to find in grocery stores, so and you might need to order it online.
