Whiskey chicken wings
This chicken wing recipe is one of my all time favorite ones. They are sweet, sticky and moorish. The whiskey marinade and sauce makes this a winner.
Best cooked on a coal BBQ.
Ingredients:
• Chicken wings. A little or a lot.
You will want a lot they are too tasty for one.
(Prep them by twisting the wing so they cook flat.)
• About a cup of whiskey
• 1 cup of stock (home made)
• Onion and garlic flakes
• Sea salt and pepper corns
• Paprika
• Brown sugar
• Jalapeño
• 1 onion
• 4 cloves of garlic
• Molasses
• Butter
• Olive oil
Method
1. For the marinade place the finely diced onion, crush garlic using your knife to form a paste and slice jalapeños. Add to bowl. Then add the stock molasses and whiskey. For the rub, in a mortar and pestle grind salt and pepper corns, add the onion, garlic flakes, brown sugar and paprika. Rub chicken with the mix getting into every nook and cranny. Take one zip lock bag or container, place in the rubbed chicken and pour the liquid marinade into vessel. Seal and let it sit in the fridge over night.
2. Fire up the grill and get the coals nice and hot. Add peach wood or hickory chips for an awesome smoky flavor explosion. Arrange in one layer on the grill set over indirect low heat. If you are using charcoal or wood, it will be very difficult to do this, so set your fire on one side of the grill and arrange the wings on the other side, away from the direct heat. You want them to cook slowly, with little or no sizzle. Baste with marinade then cover the grill and cook like this for 30 minutes.
3. Once the chicken is nice and charred and cooked through remove from heat de-glaze pan (pour juices back into pan) with some more stock and marinade. Add butter, some more brown sugar if you like and reduce until you get a thick sticky sauce.
4. Drench the chicken with the sauce and get messy.
