Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut 3 pounds of chicken wings into three sections; save the wing tips for stock. Toss the wings with a little neutral oil to keep them from sticking.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a charcoal or gas grill; the fire should be moderately hot and the rack 4 to 6 inches from the heat. Leave one side of the grill cooler for indirect cooking.

  3. Step 3

    Put the wings on the cool side of the grill. Cover the grill and cook, checking and turning once or twice, until most of the fat has been rendered and the wings are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    While the wings cook, combine ½ cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon wine or rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion and 1 teaspoon minced garlic in a large bowl.

  5. Step 5

    When the wings are cooked, add them to the bowl with the sauce, and toss to coat. Now put the wings on the hot part of the grill, and cook, uncovered, turning as necessary, until they’re nicely browned on both sides.

Cooking Notes

I cooked it in the oven for about 30 mintues at 425 without sauce. Put sauce on overnight and cooked the next day for about 20 minutes until hot.

I cooked the wings in my oven on air fryer setting and used the sauce from this recipe. The sauce turned out well and I will definitely make it again.

This has been a very cold winter for us, so.....I prepared this dish in the instant pot. I first browned a few cloves of garlic in a mix of guanciale and olive oil, added the wings and sautéed until brown. I removed the chicken and proceed to make the sauce adding some red Calabrese chili flakes and 1/4 c brown sugar. This one is a keeper, so good. Thank you all for your comments

This method works. I’ve used it with honey mustard, Buffalo, lemon pepper... You can use any bbq sauce, but I tweaked this recipe. I added a bit of brown sugar, agave syrup, and tomato paste, then cooked it down on the stove. Grilled the wings til done, sauced them, and gave them five minutes of indirect heat. So good!

Anyone know if there is a way to adapt this one to do in the oven.

Wings picked up very little sauce..... so just a hint of the sauce flavor.
