BBQ meets Asian cuisine. A nice
balance between savory and
sweet. These wings will be a hit
at any feed!
The first thing to do is
pre-heat your cooker to 240
degrees. In this cook I'm
cooking on my Yoder YS640 using
Bear Mountain Cascade Alder wood pellets.
Next we will prepare the
chicken. Start by rinsing
3 to 3.5 pounds of party wings.
These are wings pre cut up. If
your store doesn't carry them
then buy the regular wings and
cut them up yourself. Pat them
dry and place them into a two
one gallon Ziploc bags. I tend to put all the
drumstick pieces one bag and the
others in the second bag. I do this because I
place all the drumsticks on one
smoking rack and the others on
to a second rack. I then place
the thicker meat near the hotter
end of my cooker.
Next in a large mixing bowl
combine the following:
1 Cup Low Sodium Soy Sauce
3/4 Cup Sesame Oil
1 1/2 Cup
Honey
2 Tsp. Minced Garlic
1 Tsp. Minced Ginger
1 Tbsp.
Sesame Seeds
1 Tsp. Coarse
Ground Black Pepper
Mix this thoroughly with a
fork or whisk making sure to
dissolve and mix in all the
honey. Once the marinade is
mixed pour 1 1/4 cups into a
bowl and set aside to use later
for mopping the chicken and for
a finishing sauce as well as a
dipping sauce. Squeeze out all
the air from the Ziploc bags and
close them. Place the bags flat
in the refrigerator and allow
the wings to marinate for 3
hours. Once the wings have
marinated for three hours remove
them from the fridge and drain
the liquid from the bag.
Pre-heat your cooker to 240
degrees. You don't want to go
any higher than this as the
sugars will burn. In this cook
I'm using Bear Mountain Cascade
Alder wood BBQ pellets. Place
the wings on greased smoking
racks. Once the cooker has
reached 240 degrees place the
wings into the cooker. The
target internal temperature for
the wings in this cook is 175
degrees. This temp will produced
wings with meat that easily
pulls away from the bone but is
not over cooked by any means.
Allow the wings to cook for
1.5 hours. Separate the left
over marinade into two cups.
Using one cup of marinade, mop
the wings and then flip each
wing over and mop the other
side. Continue cooking until the
internal temp reaches 175
degrees. Once the wings have met
the target temp, remove them
from the cooker and place in a
large bowl. Divide the remaining
marinade into two equal halves.
Heat one of the halves and pour
it over the wings. Using your
hands gently toss the wings in
the marinade coating all the
wings.
Plate up the wings to serve.
Serve the remaining marinade as
a dipping sauce. Enjoy this
taste of Asian cuisine.
Thanks for viewing and enjoy
